Missing fuel line?


bear with me as I'm not the most mechanically inclined, But I bought this car after it had been sitting for about a decade, and when I went to change the fuel pump I realized that the fuel line that has the pressure release valve just isn't there. Is it possible to acquire one aftermarket? and how far towards the front of the car does it go?

I have the valve. the metal line that the valve connects to and runs toward the front of the car is missing. you can see from the picture that there are four metal likes with black hoses running from the top of the picture, but only 3 lines on the bottom coming from the front of the car.

There are only supposed to be 3 lines going to the front of the car, the pressure line, the return line, and the vent line to the charcoal canister. The fourth metal line from the tank connects to a short piece of fuel line and then to the valve, which is mounted as in this pic....
