for what it's worth (maybe a lot to some folks, even with this hose
available, various vendors list it at from $74 to $98, but it's not
available anyway, at any price.

BUT -- kaching -- telephone sales clerk at Van Cafe told me to go to
NAPA and buy two hoses, numbers 7096 and 9009, mate them together with a
double male union, fits perfect.  I expect the price will be a small
fraction of that listed for the part.  Haven't bought it yet, will let
you know how it works out.
