Default Disintegrating oil fill hose. How to replace?

Has anyone replaced the vinyl oil fill hose that extends out of their oil tank? Mine is disintegrating and I'm getting paranoid that it could be falling into the oil. I don't even want to touch this thing until I have a plan for getting it completely removed.

I discarded mine when it self distructed. I just keep a long neck funnel in the trunk which works just as well.

Tend to agree; have yanked mine out by accident a few times. Reinsertion wasn't a problem, so a replacement should be easy so long as Porsche hasn't done a redesign of this danged thing and surprised us.
