Odd tapered rubber fuel line connection

Working on a 1972 220D and I think that little tapered rubber hose that connects the fuel tank to the main fuel supply line could be leaking.
I was on an emply tank this morning and tried to replace it but when I slid it up, I noticed the hard line extends into the tank but how far?
Do I need to drop the tank to get a new rubber hose on there?
Yes, I have the proper size hose, by the way.

Thanks for the help!
