Fuel lines rotting in '11 Pro

[ProRMK24]

Has anybody had any problems with the fuel lines rotting off in the tank of an 11 pro??? After a half day it will up and quit running on me.

R U using ethanol fuel if yes that is probably the reason for the fuel line rotting . I see it all the time with chain saws ,weed eaters and older sleds .

I heard it's starting to show up on 08s from a dealer

Friend had this happen on our trip a year ago with his 2011 Pro. After the tank gets down to about a quarter it would stop, restart then stop over and over again until we got off the hill. They didn't find out what happened until this year. If it has this issue, don't fill it up and take it to the dealer as they didn't find the problem.
I get the ethanol thing but it is impossible to get straight gas is most places so it is inexcusable for fuel lines to not last 3 seasons.

I haven't used anything less than 91 octane

Octane rating has nothing to do with it. Ethanol or not is what should be considered. I have never run my 13 Pro with anything but 91 octane non-ethanol fuel. I am surprised that ethanol is affecting such a new sled. I have seen it mess up the fuel lines on older machines of all types including older cars.
