I've got a leaky rubber fuel hose that connects to the fuel pump from the frame metal line. It appears to be a long molded "U" shape, not just a regular 3/8 hose bent double. I cannot find a source for this hose, O'Reilly drew a blank, nothing on RockAuto, GOOGLE shows nothing.

Is this input hose just a regular rubber hose bent 180 degrees? Or maybe I'm looking at a generic replacement pump that the intake pipe is the wrong orientation? The inlet points to the front as does the metal tank line on the frame. The U shape connects the two.

Ideas? Thanks!

Here, let me google that for you... $19.95 from Amazon Cut your own angle fuel hose.

Or, you could get a 180 U-bend stainless beer fitting for 3/8" hose. Would that work? Only $8.50

Thanks to everyone weighing in. I like the suggestion for cutting/splicing something already molded. I'm new to G-bodies and figured the inlet hose was a specialized part since regular woven fuel hose kinks shut when bent that tight, also much of the truck is metric so I figured I needed a 9 mm hose or something like that.

I will pull off the old rotten hose and dig around for whatever is available that looks similar.
