Anything that fits works.

I use some silicon pipe, fancy red stuff i got from ebay, 99p a meter and its wonderfully heatproof and flexible. Not too soft to collapse in onitself though, i think its used for boost gauges and things normally.

The honda part is 16961MF2000 and its called tube auto-cock ;)

Im sure the stuff i brough was 2mm ID silicon tube as you can squeeze it on.. if you get a digital caliper or rulsr and measure the fuel tap vaccumn nipple you:ll see what you need.. be on the smaller side so it isnt loose than upsize it

I used a piece of silicone aquarium airline to replace mine, roughly 1/8" ID. Worked a treat, just tight enough not to spring off but loose enough not to be a pain in the butt when the tank comes off.
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.
