Renew all fuel lines with FPM/FKM ethanol resistant hose and make sure that you run the bus at least once a week.

A couple of threads here:

viewtopic.php?t=175489&hilit=fuel+hose

To summarise, be really careful if you're buying hose online. Generic fuel hose, even with an SAE 30R9 or SAE 30R14 specification, may actually only be rated for 5% (E5) ethanol content, and we've already got 10% (E10) ethanol content in the pumps in the UK. The good manufacturers will make their fuel hose so that it exceeds the requirements of R9 or R14 - for example the stuff that Brickwerks sell, or a product like Gates Barricade, which are rated for 100% (E100) ethanol content.
