The filler neck is the metal tube that runs outside where you fill up the tank. 
A metal tube end which is made to fit into a rubber hose is called a "nipple." 
The steel filler tube runs inside the trunk space and is then connected to the 
tank by a short piece of large diameter rubber hose. Both the filler tube and 
the tank have a "nipple" to connect to that hose.
