It's the largest of the three rubber lines that connect to the tank sending unit/pre-pump.

I haven't worked on later then an '89, but I recall the largest hose as being the one feeding the main pump. I don't know the I.D. either (never saw one of these leak) but would try splicing in a piece of 5/16" or 3/8" copper pipe using hose clamps.

There isn't a lot of pressure from the tank pump (well, maybe if the Main wasn't working), so that kind of fix should be perfectly secure.

The other (smallest) hose is probably a vent line going to the roll-over valve, enroute to the charcoal canister up in the front left fender ahead of the wheel. It's probably more of a conscience (environmental) issue than anything else.
