Even hoses that look in good shape can be bad in unseen spots,causing leaks. ...It's a good thing to replace fill hoses,if you even suspect a tiny flaw.
Amen to that. I'm in the process of getting my 1979 17' ProLine Pro Sport ready for sale, and one of the first things I did today after reading Matt's post was pull up the gas tank cover. Sure enough, every one of the hoses needs replacing, although the tank is fine.

Thanks, Matt.
