Buy one of the white RV hoses.. They are safe for drinking water, so safe for your tank. Plus they are very plyable and roll up easily.

Maybe Canadian Tire. Rona and Home Depot probably more of a seasonal thing for them. For sure some place like Woody's RV over in Douglasdale industrial area or maybe even Princess Auto.

Use the RV hoses, as they are for pottable/drinking water for human consumption. They won't leach any rubbers, or whatever is in normal hoses.

Canadian Tire, Walmart both carry them. Otherwise visit your local RV Dealer.
