Try Vetus products - that is the same size as was used for my boat's water bag. It is food grade stuff. A lot of yacht chandlers stock Vetus products. No need to go abroad for it.

Im not 100% sure but if that that pipe is as if looks thicker and less pliable than the original it may be hard to get round the tighg bemds involved. Only saying as I tried similat before.

Ingenious solution

found an old hoover hose lying about - very flexible and tight fit!

seems the hoover hose still drips even though its a tight fit - is there some kind of mastic I should be using thats safe for potable water?
