The large metal filler pipe passes thru a large rubber grommet on its 
way to the gas tank. That steel pipe is never a problem.

To the rear of that pipe is a smaller rubber hose that connects to 
the pipe near the filler end and goes thru the inner fender wall just 
to the rear of the large pipe. That rubber "overflow" hose is always 
broken. 

More details in my other reply.
