We stopped using Gates fuel hose almost 15 years ago because we started seeing the outside rubber barrier splitting down to the core. The hoses didn't leak, but you could see the outside of the inner core through the cracks. This might be due to the use of alcohol in the fuel.
We were using "regular" Gates fuel hose.
We switched to Goodyear hose which is now called Continental.
