Most teams seem to be jerry-rigging something out of a 20oz soda bottle; seems less safe to me than just letting use COTS storage tanks.
2 liter bottles are good to about 120psi before failure, 20oz is probably a fair bit higher. You can do some destructive tests first. I would suggest clear polycarbonate tubing which you can buy from McMaster as you can use pipe fittings with it.

Alternatively just use a long piece of clear hose.
