Wow,....... They Don't Give Away those High Pressure Lines,....... Do They....??.....

I Believe that the Low Pressure side can be rebuilt using Automotive Brakeline Ends......
I Think mine are 3/8th", double flare fittings,......Your's should be as well......

Sure you can get one made. It's not a marine specific part that has to pass any fuel or elecrical tests, or be certified by the USCG.
