Not fuel pipe related but here's another example of modern poor quality rubber mouldings , 18 month old cv boot with 3500 miles on, it has been used most days and all through the winter.

Another part to watch out for:
Don't be tempted to use a chinese damper on a petrol fuel pump - I tried one and the plastic just dissolved into a gooey mess.
