Flexible fuel line

When I restored my Lotus Europa, I replaced the flexible fuel line with some that I bought at a local hardware store.
Now, a couple of years or so later, it is getting hard and brittle, and I don't trust it.
Can anyone recommend a source of 1/4" and 5/16" ID flexible fuel line that stays flexible? I know such a thing exists, because there's some on my Elan, but I don't know where it came from.

Any auto parts house will have some. But over time it will still get hard. I have not seen any flexable hoses that stay flexable after a few years.
