I can't say if generic line would work (probably it would), but be sure to inspect all the other plumbing around the tank. There are quite a few rubber and plastic hoses that could need attention.
Remember that the gas tank is fairly high up, so if the fuel line breaks below the tank, the entire contents of the gas tank will pour out onto the garage floor! That little bit of rubber hose that goes from the metal line up into the trunk should be carefully inspected. BTW, don't use copper tubing! The nickel-copper alloy that some British parts houses sell is OK, but I would prefer steel, even if I had to buy more tools to properly bend it.
