[QUOTE="rmcva, post: 441278, member: 5473"] Dun thanks for asking the guy about the fuel line. That was my main purpose of the first post. I wanted to see if this was a wide spread problem and it doesn't seem to be. When I got this last fuel line the dealer said he sells 20-25 per year here. Guess that pretty much points to the fuel. I buy BP mainly but have used Shell. Could be some type of additive in the fuel that was added in the process that's attacking the rubber line. As I said in another reply I use Stihl oil. I'm sure fuel quality varies across the country as well as local. I think most of our fuel is stored in Montvale just east of Roanoke Va. and trucked to the different stores in this area. I've always heard and read the fuel is the same just different co's have there on additive. I know there's 3 different grades of diesel fuel here. Not posted as different grades but the lesser one you don't want in your tractor. I've used Southern States fuel for the better part of 35 years now and never had a fuel problem. It cost a bit more but they clean,filter and treat the fuel with an additive that's well worth the few cents difference. But diesel is getting into another subject, just pointing out quality of fuel in diesel here. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
