Honestly, it's not THAT big a deal.   It only has fumes going through it.   
The ambition is to direct the fumes into the canister; cracks in the hose will 
let them leak out elsewhere.   Having said that, many/most of us have done 
away with the canister entirely, and the tank is just venting to the ground.

It certainly wouldn't hurt to replace the old/cracked hose with *something* 
new.
