This  design seems a good
idea to replace the plastic piece without having to  merely use a length of
rubber hose through the fire wall by itself which  would seem to lead to the
hose
being rubbed in the hole until it  leaks.

You should never run  a hose or wire or any such item susceptible to damage
through a metal  firewall or plate without using a rubber grommet.  Grommets
are available  for all size holes both OD and ID.
