Like everything else fuel lines do go bad with age (cracks etc.). That is one reason cars catch on fire. Especially on a 15 year old car. A few weeks back I replaced the fuel line in the front going to the filter. At first I noticed a slight smell of gas and when I looked at the line I could see it was wet with gas (not really dripping, just kind of wet like a sponge). This is the reason I decided to check the lines around the tank. After examining them I noticed some had cracks in them like they are somewhat dry rotted and could notice a very faint smell of gas. As far as the o-ring, I figured it might be wise to do also while I have the seat out (for access). I did find the 0-ring for the pump assembly (its about 5" diameter). The only place that had it was the dealer.
