How old of a system are we talking about here? Maybe its something Banks was having issues with for this reason in the first place and thats why they stopped selling it. Then they should provide you with a replacement part that will work on your setup.
If anything, have you tried ebay?

i talked to the banks guy, then another guy, and finally another guy and kaput! they suck. i bought my truck with the banks already on it but when i make the next purchase those guys are definetly not where im goin. i had to buy a hose from another company that doesnt really fit the way its supposed to but it works because some retards decided to not carry parts for products they sell and then when u need their help all they got is full pockets of your money and "im sorry" on their lips. good riddance!
