Fuel Filler Hose

Went to refuel this morning and smelled raw fuel. Opened the trunk and gas was leaking from the hose and tank gasket. The gasket was new 6 years ago, but the fuel filler hose was the original. I'm not sure why it failed, other than the ethanol in our fuel is causing a breakdown.

I know I can purchase replacement parts, but does anyone use products that are ethanol resistant and if so, where are you sourcing them from?
