It would be a mistake not to replace it. You can use a 2" chunk of the appropriately-sized (inner diameter) Neoprene fuel hose.

Just be sure you use the highest quality Neoprene fuel hose available. Keep in mind that the pressure in that hose is almost nil, since the tank pump merely primes the main pump. In other words, pressure rating of the hose is not a concern.

Do NOT use actual rubber -- it'll last about 2 minutes in gasoline.

About 5 years back, I replaced that hose in my '82 turbo 245 using a scrap from my junk box. So far, so good.
