If you drop the tank again, I'd find the diagram for all the fuel hoses above the tank.
You don't want to redo this job during the remaining life of the car!

Probably generic fuel hose would work, my guess is it is 8-mm fuel hose used in Volvo, BMW etc.

This is a good link to follow:

FYI, you can fix this without dropping the tank.... which is a whole bunch quicker and easier!
