Yes this part can be hard to find. If you look in the archives, you will find
that somebody used a modified toilet plunger to replace it.

This hose is for the fuel tank filler vent. If its as bad as you say it is,
then you need to replace it as soon as possible. You don't want to be driving
it in the rain as it will allow water into the fuel tank and the fuel system.
The hose is also really NLA, but there are a few ways to improvise it, and
somebody will certainly chime in with a way to do it cheaply. In the mean
time be careful turning left with a full tank of fuel as gas WILL leak out. I
hope this helps.
