Fuel Filler neck, what do i need to know to replace it ?

So i have the Notorious leaking filler neck problem, however, im kinda confused. Is the Fuel filler neck is made of rubber?, or is it metal? If i were to go about fixing it, do i need to drop the whole tank out ?

# 1 If the filler neck is made from rubber can i get the replacement from the auto store, or do i have to go to GM ?

# 2 If the neck is made of metal, can i put epoxy over it, rather than weld a new one on?

# 3 Is it better to take it to Satan... i mean the GM service center, and "take one for the team" so to speak? how much would that cost?

Thanks guys i really appreciate it !!!!

I believe that there was a recall because of faulty filler necks. I think the problem had something to do with the soldered/welded joint between the filler neck and tank. I don't have the recall # on hand. Call up your local dealer and inquire about it.

I have a brand new fuel tank I don't need.
I'll let you have it cheap so I can get it out of my garage.
