I stock the correct German 7mm smooth-jacket high-pressure fuel line for
$6.95 a meter (about 3 feet).  Part number   N 020 281 1   .  And it is
worth repeating that it is definately NOT safe to use standard fuel line in
its place.  So wherever you buy it, make sure you get the high pressure
stuff.  In a pinch, this is something the VW dealer normally stocks (under
the same part number I use).
