fuel hose leaks when fueling

Does anyone have any quick fix for this? When I am gasing up, after about $20 worth of gas, the tube or rubber hose that runs from the gas cap to the tank is saturated with fuel and leaks. When I fill it up all the way, fuel pours out once it reaches where the tube is clamped to the fuel tank.
Is that a simply rubber hose that can be replaced or is it a special kind of hose? It appears to be rubber that has just gotten really old over time and there are 2 screw clamps...the cirlce ones that get tighter the more you turn the screw - it's just one of those on each end. Is it a part I can buy and replace without removing the rear wheel?
