In my line of work, some transport hoses for our equipment are scheduled to be change every 12 months.Hoses deteriorate from the inside out, so it's hard to see damages until it crack or break. As a precaution, it's good to get your mech to check all petrol, brake fluid and coolant hoses & fasteners and replace before they break. Cheap maintenance compare to the consequences. A petrol leak onto your exhaust system could have caused your car to go up in flames like we see occasionally in the news.Hope this helps VNP.</blockquote>
