Christopher, That's actually an air conditioning hose! I had the exact same problem a few years ago. A shop that makes custom hoses, including air conditioning hoses, was able to cut the offending section out and splice in a new part with high-pressure crimped connectors. I then zip-tied the hose out of the way. Andy In a message dated 11/12/2006 7:38:33 P.M.

It is item 18 part number 100748 as seen at the below link.
