It's a very good idea to inspect newly acquired used airplanes thoroughly. I
once
had an old certified airplane that took me 3 years to get it back to proper
condition (and it was a flying airplane with current annual).
Also had a friend crash his Pitts 1 week after acquiring it, with a fresh
annual,
because the engine quite right after takeoff due to a clogged fuel filter.
Never trust someone else's work ("Trust, but verify" goes the saying)
BTW, all my fuel lines are exposed in the tunnel but high quality Gates
Barricade.
I figure I'll change them in 5 years(ish) and they are not exposed to UV.
But nothing wrong with what you did!
