Yes to this above.
Im not a great fan of Braided Hoses either....hard to see splits or wear.
Ive seen one or two Aircooled VDubs go up in smoke due to crap fitting fuel lines. Them Campers do burn well !!

I've just discovered that my overflow pipe aims at the exhaust, so I'm achieving this a different way, but cheap fuel lines are definitely scary! Couldn't imagine losing the car to something as simple as cheap fuel line
Nor could I; glad I caught it before it could have become a problem. I have a pipe on mine from the overflow, that joins to a steel line and takes the float vent away over the top of the clutch and down the front of the engine.

While I agree replacing components with Ethanol proof variants is a good idea; the issue in my case was the use of 1/4" fuel line and it not being appropriate for every Mini (certaintly wasn't for mine).

So what fuel lin did you have originally ? I'm using an existing SPI pipe to feed my hif 44
