Dean,
I replaced the fuel hoses on my 71 Midget 3 times in a single year.
The hose was dissolving away on the inside and blocking up the jets
in the float bowls as well as blocking the fuel filters. I didn't
have this problem when I could buy gas without ethanol added to it.
The hose was new (modern) hose from NAPA and Advance Auto. I finally
replaced all the hose sections with VW braided hose no problems since.
