Is it possible to change that black hose from the tank tap to the carbs with a clear pvc tube? or will the fuel gradually eat though the hose? i want to do this because its an easy indication of fuel flow. plus my current tube is getting ripped.

it will melt,

there arent many companys that do clear fuel hose,

ariete do, but it comes in tints/shades and after a will will go snowy and wont be able to see in side any way, just stick with old fashioned fuel hose mate
