I would expect, after 17 years, all the fuel hose should be replaced. That was a wake up call, so as soon as you can replace the rest of the line.
I agree. Alcohol or no alcohol, rubber goods eventually get brittle and fail. Even if sunlight never hits them, they get brittle and fail.
I bought several air hoses about 5 years go. None of them have ever been around alcohol or sunlight, but they turned brittle and cracked last summer.
Many years ago, I bought a 1977 Pace Arrow Class A. The generator fuel line was hard and brittle, and had to be replaced. Oddly enough, the engine fuel lines were in great shape!
