Stihl 038 Magnum Tank Vent

[ideal_trucks]

I'm working on fixing up an old 038 Magnum that I was given. The fuel tank vent hose is bad. Still has the grub screws in it. The cheapest I can find a new tank vent on ebay like original is about $10. That seems like a lot for a 2 inch piece of hose.
Would something like this work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fuel-Tank-...593219&hash=item3da3ada495:g:9p0AAOSwuHRex2N1

Or is there any source for cheaper vent hose that I can put the grub screws back in

That will work. I have used a short length of Tygon fuel line with the same grub screws and that also works.

Yeah, just use a scrap piece of tygon and the old screws.
Push them in, don't "screw" them in.
