I don't have the vent hose that probably came with it and am tired of seeing little drops of acid all over after riding. I tried some fuel line. Short lived solution. What won't get eaten up?

I believe the hose is a plastic/vinyl material. The acid comes in a plastic container!! Perhaps even some polyurethane would work! Seems you found that Sulfuric Acid disolves "natural rubber"!!

Vinyl tubing or (stock) neoprene (synthetic rubber) though that could be hard to find. I'd go with vinyl.Shiny side up,

Mine came witha length of clear fish tank line. Go ahead and take the line out of your kids tank. Nemo doesn't really need it that bad.
