I'd use some stainless lines and whatever fittings you'd need and order a tubing bender from swage-lock. I have one, but since I use it for work it's hard for me to lend it out. You can screw up tubing pretty quick if you don't know the proper way to bend it. Post up some pics and I could help you a little more...

Why not just replace that rubber hose with a longer one? Connecting a new piece to an old piece is just asking for a leak.

^^^ Yup... I was just suggesting stainless bc it will never corrode or deteriorate.

Im not sure where the line is going from the tank to where? So not sure how long to make it

Just start where you know it's at and follow it. Get a rough estimate of how long it is and then buy 12" more than you need.

well i bought 20" pressure hoes, clamps, and a air hose metal fitting at O Reillys. so i put the fitting into old hose clamped that side, put the new hose on other side of fitting, then clamped that. it works fine, doesnt look the best but atleast it works for now. it will get a whole new hose before too long that way nothing is spliced into or weathered
