I want to run my CO2 tank outside my Kegco K309SS-2 dual tap Kegerator because the tank with the dual valve regulator attached is taking up too much room inside.  I only have a 3/4in opening in the back of the fridge so I can't run two CO2 lines through it.

I figure my options are:

1) Run a line from my tank through the 3/4in opening to the regulator inside.

2) Run two 5/16" brass or stainless tubes through the fridge.  They would have to have a 45 degress bend at each end so I can attach and clamp the CO2 hoses.

Does anyone have a better solution?  I really prefer to keep the regulator & tank both outside so in my mind option #2 is best.  I'm not sure how I'd do the bends.  I'm sure there is a tool for that...lol

Surely I'm not the only person wanting to fit two quarter kegs in this fridge instead of stuffing a sixtel and a quarter in there.

Is there a product being sold specifically for this purpose?

I had an Igloo Kegerator.  The CO2 line was thin enough to go through the door opening and not affect the door seal.  It worked great.  My problem is, I sold the Kegerator with my restaurant and cannot find a similar CO2 Hose setup.
