Question:
So it appears the leak is at the end of the hose. I went directly into the regulator, as you suggested, and I still heard the hiss of gas coming out. So, I believe all I need is a replacement hose. The one I have is very short (1.5 ft) and it reached around the bend just fine. No idea why the 90 degree elbow was there in the first place.

So it's the elbow piece that you need? Without knowing the fittings I can't be sure but since that should be the inlet to your regulator it probably has a 1/4 inch male fitting on the end going into the regulator and a 1/4 inch female on the other. We don't carry any 90 degree adapters with those fittings.
If those are correct you can probably bypass it if you can get the hose to connect directly to the regulator. Or if I'm wrong about the fittings let me know what they are and I'll see if we have what you neeed.
