Help locating clear fuel lines for my 350sd

Where in the world can I find the clear lines that deliver fuel on my 350sd. There are 2 of them from what I can find, but no place I check can tell me where to get the clear lines. I even called my mercedes dealer and they only offer a black hose now. Any info would be great.

I got Tygon hoses rated for fuel use from Mcmaster (dot com). It is not clear, but has a slight yellow tint to it.

Go with OEM on this

"Buy Parts" above or the dealer.
'Fittings ("Banjo") type are part of the lines.

Example from a 603.960:

What he said. There are 3 such hoses and they come with fittings. Don't forget crush washers.

One of mine broke by the Banjo nipple. I took a Butane lighter and heated the plastic on the Banjo nipple and pried it off both of the nipples. This allowed me to use regular Black Rubber Fuel Hose with hose clamps from the local auto part store.
Other then the possible small help that seeing any air going through the clear plastic tubing while it is still clear would be I do not see the need to have the clear tubing.
If longevity of the hose is an issue you could spend a little extra money and get Viton hose which I have been told will last may times longer than the regular rubber hose.
