Here's some interesting information. I have a 1999 F150 beater pickup. Being that it has spent its whole life in Minnesota (most of it in the twin cities area) it has some rust problems. It has factory dual circuit brakes with ABS. The brakes on it have always worked flawlessly. A couple of years ago, I blew a rear line that had rusted out. I had barely enough brakes to limp it back to my shop. Last year, I blew a front line. I had no brakes; none, zero. I have inspected and replaced all metal brakes lines and the brake hoses since then. An inspection of the fuel line surprisingly shows very little corrosion.
