The very end of the hose that connects to the pcv valve is falling apart. Is it okay to just patch it up with duct tape or electrical tape?

I will be calling some junk yards tomorrow, but ford wants $70 for the hose.

I have a 2002 3.0 v6 ford ranger.

 

For a temp fix its fine.

 

For a temporary fix I would use gorilla tape. Call your local auto parts or full service, they may have them and for alot less than $70 for a hose that is that short is ridiculous!
