Photos of fuel lines after 8K miles/1 year of B100 use

I replaced my fuel lines earlier this week with viton hoses cause I use biodiesel. These lines have lasted for a year going 8000 miles on B100. After looking at them I am not so sure vitons are really that necessary. At least in this case.
I did some fuel line taxidermy. I cut a injector return line in half and the line that goes to the pre-filter. I don't know how old the lines are. I imagine they are fairly new since they still look good, and aren't brittle. There was a little bit of cracking on the ends but nothing too bad. All the lines were still soft, no brittle lines. Here are the photos.
