Just get a long length of rubber fuel hose and use that. You may need some bracket things (not sure what they are called) to loop around the hose and screw into the rail to keep it up but that will do the job, just fine.

I got my last lot of bendable steel tubing for fuel line (5/16") from my local brake place. Don't know why they would have tubing that big but they did.
