I was replacing my fuel valve this weekend and noticed the condition of my hose
There are no leaks and it appears that the cracks are only through the outer portion but they are a couple of mm's deep and are throughout the hose still it doesnt look all that safe to me and I will be changing it. This was installed less than 6 months ago and the bike has less than 1000 miles since install.
I wrote to Prestone not looking for a refund but just so they were aware and was told ..

Good Afternoon Alexander,
We regret to hear about your experience, however those products are actually made by a company called CADNA that licenses the Prestone brand name. Their contact information can be found here: http://www.cadna.com/About.asp. Please let me know if you require anything further.
Sincerely,
Aaron Jones
Prestone Consumer Relations Representative
Phone: 203-731-8191"
I was kind of dismayed because even if they license the name it is their name on the package. I am no expert on hose but I don't think that should happen and think it could be a potential safety issue. I wrote to the company they said manufactured the hose and have not heard back.
I would pass on Prestone brand hoses if you are replacing.
