You're talking about the medium size hose?
- there's the fuel filler (#4 in img)
- on it's neck, there's a fuel hardline that goes forward to the carbon can (#16 in img)
- further down there's a hose i think you're talking about, which connects from the top of the filler neck to the tank (it's an air vent to prevent burping when you're filling the tank). (attached-to and part of #4 in img, connects to #5)
If this is what you're talking about, yes, it should be repaired. probably better plugged than open. Open you should be getting check-engine codes about the EVAP system, as you would with a loose gas cap. Plugged the only problem should be burping when filling the tank. air would still have a path into the tank via the evap system.
What you don't want to do, is plug the EVAP line (more specifically, where it plugs into the filler neck). A tank without a vent will be *fully collapsed* by the fuel pump.
