Need Help Finding a Rubber Fuel Line
for an 89 camaro RS. it goes from the sending unit to the main feed line. it has fittings on both ends and i cannot find anywhere that sells it, TGO is about useless, and well.. i have no clue where to find what i need.

I went to advance auto parts and they have rubber fuel injector hose sold by the foot. You have to ask the counter guy for it, I had to ask mine to go and look. He didn't even know they carried it.

If they are quick release fittings, you can get the fittings, some fuel injector clamps, the hose and put them together to fit. Or go the expensive route with the appropriate AN fittings and steel braided hoses.

Dealership
Fuel lines are something you dont want to skimp on, get quality materials or the original from the dealership, and those Ebay ones are probably are in as bad shape as yours are as they are 23 years old, Its not fun watching your car burn to the ground because you wanted to save $20.00, Good Luck

that part's not going to be available new aftermarket unfortunately. you'll either need to find a used one in good shape (the ones you linked to appear to be correct as I'm pretty sure all efi sending units and lines are the same for these cars) , have one made at a local hydraulic shop (as someone else noted), or make one out of braided stainless & the necessary adapters.
I'm replacing all of my lines since I have the factory carbed setup on my 87, braided from front to rear was the cheapest option I could find for my situation.

This is the end you need at the tank and I'm guessing at the rail too. You can poke around summit or similar places and get what you need.

is it the feed or return line? try looking at other gm models of that era as pretty much all of the efi cars used the same size fittings or feed and return(3/8" and 5/16). Does your original have one male and one female fitting at the end?

add some braided line and the fitting in my first reply and you have your line.
