Default Fuel tubing

Lots of variables here. What kind of tubing (brand etc.)? what kind of storage (hot garage // cold basement)? Fuel left in the tank (this will definitely decrease the life)?

Recommended is to replace the tubing at the beginning of each flying season. Fuel dripping in the airframe and possibly shorting the electric connections is not worth the cost (in time / money / or peace of mind).
