These fuel lines degrade even when using diesel. Buy some spare and check for leakage when doing routine maintenance on the car.
Most of the fuel lines I have had trouble with were lines I re-used from parts cars (shops shut, needed hose). They were diesel degraded before I put WVO or biodiesel near them. Those lines where I installed new hose were still in excellent condition 4 years later.
