Default 97 b3500 fuel line leak

Hello! I'm hoping someone can help me with my fuel leak. My 97 b3500 camper van is leaking fuel above the transmission. I've read this is a nylon line with quick connects on it. My shop manual doesn't show if this is one continuous line from the fuel rail to the tank or if theres multiple sections. I do know this model doesn't have a fuel return line. My questions are, is it a continuous line? I believe these lines have been discontinued by Chrysler so what do people do to fix these? I assume I probably need to run a new line from the rail to the tank? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I've done a little more homework on this and I now now it appears to be a continuous nylon line from the tank to the rail. It runs over top of my fresh water and gray water tank so it is not entirely visible but all the places I've been able to see it it seems to be continuous. I have also found the pin hole leak on it, which is above the fresh water tank. What I would like to do is run a new line and join the old right before the tank. Question, what is the best hose and connectors to use? Can I use two brass compression unions at both ends to splice in a new nylon hose between the tank and the rail? I'm open to any and all ideas on this!

Need to use a union specifically designed for nylon line. I would think your local parts store should have 'em.
