IMO, it's good preventative maintenance to replace ALL of the soft fuel
lines, every 10 years or so.  Even without the problem of modern fuel
attacking original lines, they get old and hard, and prone to cracking.

If memory serves, at least some TR6 have a soft line at the bottom of the
tank, under the car.  If it starts to leak on the road, you may not know
you've got a problem until you've lost a significant amount of gas ... and
you'll lose the rest of it trying to replace that hose.
