I recall one incident of ruptured line when the '70 still had less than 100K on it, and I was mostly on the road in strange places. A fluke, so new and all, but it took a lot out of my day to find the hose. Finally got to Manchester NH dealer & bought the whole ten feet(!) to carry in the car along with my 40 lbs. of tools. Good choice. Two years later in my second (this one used from Florida), there was this extra hissing sound and the smell of gas! Yep. It was Sunday. When I get one of the six squares in my yard roading again, the hoses will have been replaced, and there will be some loose in the trunk!
