I don't know for certain, but in a high pressure system like FI, the
diameter of the hose is likely not a limiting factor. The valve is
doing all the fuel metering/limitation.
I think it would be all right to run with it, if you can get it tight
enough on the fittings not to spray gas. Then you can take a little
time to look for proper replacements.
