Default gas overflow.. come help please

so i top her off at the pump today and i notice gas is leaking like a **** from where the tank meets the tube that you put gas into. ive been told i need to replace the whole tube, but i think its just the rubber sleeve/gasket inbetween. any1 ever had this problem? this is the part i think.

I had the same problem also. I was welding on some new exhaust tips and I could smell gas. Turned out it was that little rubber garment was bad.
