It's plastic, there's nothing you can do but hope.

It might help to run some sash chain through the hose with enough left
over to pile up in the wing tank and storage tank. Knot the chain to
prevent it from pulling thorugh the hose.

Sash chain: That flattish chain people with old fashioned windows use
between the window sash and the sash wieghts.
