injector fuel hoses

Anyone have an idea how often they need to be replaced, did it about 4 years ago, and just had to tighten a few clamps as they were leaking, hoses are still pliable and not cracking anywhere.

Basically when the pliable gets less pliable.

Leaks at clamps "may" need earlier intervention however. Some of those clamps "cut" the hose.

Go with the gut feeling.

In the aviation industry you normally replace pressure hoses after 10 years!
