[V8] A6 Question

[Kneale Brownson]

Hose goes from the hard line to the top of the fuel tank.  Something 
like $88 for the hose from Parts Depot.

As Ron notes, you can insert a small piece of pipe in the rubber part.  
A good FLAPS should have the kind of hose clamp needed for high-pressure 
applications like the Audi fuel system.  I ran a 200 like that for a 
couple years.
