Please help name this part

I developed a fuel leak a couple of days ago and I narrowed it down to this rubber coupling in the picture below. The part is inside the red circle and the blue X is the fuel filter housing for reference. It is the small rubber hose that connects the steel drain line to the rear of the valve body.

I need to know where I can buy it asap as I have a duct tape fix there now.

Thanks!

That is the fuel bowl drain, and connect the spout to the hardline that runs around the valley to where it dumps under the engine. I doubt that it is your leak though, more likely it is your o-rings in the drain spout.

Maybe just an fuel bowl drain valve kit from Guzzle would do it.

15 minute fix. Had this link bookmarked just for information on the valve. If the valve wasn't leaking then there would be no need for the hose at all. (only for draining water/fuel . For maintenance) I forgot to put my little hose back on until I figured it out when i drained the housing to install a new fuel filter. I wonder why that little hose was on my shelf for almost 3 months.
