Napa has it in various sizes from 1.5" on up (at least that's what they have locally). Unfortunately, no bends, it's all straight...

Just a FWIW, I broke mine (it was in a bad place) and was having trouble figuring out how to route it where it would be safe. So, I bent some 1.75x0.120 roll bar material, welded the swedged filler end (for the hose) from the old setup to the end of the tube, welded the cap end from the old filler to the other end, and made a bracket to bolt it hard to the frame. Only needed about 4” or 1.5” rubber hose to connect to the tank and it will move as part of the frame, not the body, reducing stress on the hose. And if (WHEN) it gets hit again, tuff shit to whatever hits it. Hehe, first time out (yesterday) I slid off a dirt bank sideways into a tree. Getting out, I broke a 2” limb across the filler neck which showed no sign of damage other than scraped paint. :D
