Hydration bladder problem

Hi all I have an issue with the Camelbak mule I have bought. I bought it to use on my mountain bike and it works well but it would be nice to use the bladder in my pack but the hose is not long enough. I have a Macpac Bladder that works but it would be nice to use the 3L one. I have looked on there website but could not find a longer replacement hose. Has anyone had any experience with this and or have a solution.
Thanks

Hose should be generic and any food grade hose of the correct diametre can be bought by the metre and cut to size

...WildfireSports has osprey, hydrapak hydraflex a metre long, 1/4inch 6mm $8 & $14...
Just depends on your internal hose diameter, makes & models vary as does the diameter of the bite piece spigots.
Mine are outside diameter 10mm with a internal 5/16 spigot(8mm ish)
