I kind of do the same thing.  Every time I have my head in the engine
compartment I am inspecting things and fuel lines is one of those things.
Check the ends of the lines near the injectors for cracking every so often
and sometimes you can’t tell much until you remove the hose from the fuel
rail and injector in regards to cracking on the hose ends.  Pinch the fuel
lines with your fingers to determine if the hose is too hard or soft or if
there is any seepage on your fingers.
