Mine were ALL spongy from the large fill hoses, to the pump, to the, filters, to the regulator, to the carb. (E85 accelerates the permeation of the rubber)

I installed Gates Barricade hoses.

Avail in 25ft spools @ Summit, Amazon etc...

I don't use braided hose on the fuel system anymore as I sleeve all the fuel hoses and brake lines in the engine compartment with DEI slip-on or Velcro heat sleeving.

When replacing hoses make sure you use the proper hose rated for fuel. I found radiator hose in the filler assembly that previous owner's 'mechanic' had used.

Edit: 'mechanic' is in quotes because I found a number of very questionable things that no self-respecting mechanic would ever admit to.
