yes it does look like that.
i found it 6 inches from the vec and about 24 inches from the engine

Don't reuse thet line. There is no telling what else has been pushed through it. Use a fresh piece of hose in its place. If that barb didn't come from either end, where the heck did it come from?
Is this a reputable shop?
