This site suggests no, silicone hoses not "fuel or oil safe"

There some hoses specifically listed as filler neck hoses on eBay, if you can confirm the diameter of the pipe spigot (check both ends in case differ!

Looks the same but worth checking) then such as this:

Look a potential option, even supplied with Jubilee clips (don't think the existing ones will be reusable)

I'm not sure how easy it'll be to measure without removing the existing hose, and given its cracked that may not remove without breaking up.
