The fuel lines themselves are fine. The orings that seal them as well as seal the delivery valves inside the IP can deterioate from B99.

Should be noted the rings will also deterioate from reg D2 use too.

Go to fryerpower .com and purchase the 606 oring kit in viton and swap all the orings out. No long term results using viton yet but is supposed to be MUCH more resistant.

Going back and forth between fuel types probably hastens failure.
