Some fuel is leaking out of the pipe to the fuel tank, near the top. Can I just replace the pipe or do I need to change the tank at the same time? Also does anyone know a good place to get the parts?

Three components here.Fuel filler pipe,rubber hose,tank.My leak was from the tank,from under the car above the rear axle,you will see the filler pipe on it's way to the tank.Twist the rubber pipe and see if it is solid to the tank,mine came off in me 'and...my filler pipe was sound,there is someone on the zone repairing these on an exchange basis;I think I saw it in 'parts for sale',could be wrong though,it's me age...
