fuel line replacement

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone else has replaced there fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. I haven't been able to find any part numbers and it has a rather strange 90-degree elbow connector.

Here's a pic:

Old thread but is it actually leaking or is it just offensive to the eyes?

Im not sure what size the fuel line is but I bet you dollars to donuts that you could very easily fashion a coupling with AN fittings (which are actually used for fuel and brakelines lines).
You would likely have to cut both ends off and make a male to female connection.
Some flaring of the metal end maybe required but I think its totally do-able.
