I replaced the fuel line by cutting off the crimped steel ferrule and replacing the fuel hose with new fuel hose, secured with worm drive clamps. I would expect just as much problem with it as I have from my other new fuel lines - NONE. I check them at every 5000km service and replace any which show signs of deterioration.
