I have found fuel lines on a 2000 Spartan Mountain Master chassis used by Gulfstream under a 2001 Independence 8407 that are permeating fuel for the entire length of their run both return line and intake line. These lines are run bundled along side electrical loom. Fuel lines are cloth wove covered and have high incidence of failure on commercial trucks of similar vintage. These hoses were not damaged or exposed to any abuse. They were permeating enough fuel to wet and drip from top of fuel tank and any other low spots in the run. Because of the proximity to electrical loom and fuel system integrity,(air in line from bleed at shut down) new lines should be run, there is not a cheap easy fix for this.
