Default 2004 Ford Escape V6 - Cracked Hose

Hi all,
Can someone help identify this hose? I noticed it was cracked. Also, could it be the culprit as to why I'm getting an EVAP check engine light code?

And where can I get a replacement? Seems like something I could replace on my own. Any tricks to doing it?

Thanks!!

I'm not sure if that's the EVAP canister output or return tube.
How dry rotted is the hose? Not a great idea but if its not dry rotted you may be able to cut it and install a male to male hose connector with clamps on both ends.

You should be able to replace the entire hose with new hose, rated to withstand fuel vapor. The outer sheath is just a protective layer, there's nothing special with that hose.

I realized that I said it was the wrong hose, the two I mentioned are the bottem two, I will check the workshop manual again tomorrow to see what that top hose is.

Thank you all for your replies. Where can I get this type of hose? Should I go to the dealer? Any idea the name of it, or thickness if I want to look online? Thanks again

Ok so that is the vacuum hose that goes from the intake manifold to the evap purge valve.
You could buy a new one from a dealer, buy one from a pull a part/junk yard vehicle, or just remove the hose and take it to the auto parts store to match it to another hose that will work and buy clamps to make sure it doesn't leak.
