Gas leaking in rear of hatchback in spare tire area

1986 Saab 900 8v, On my past post about repairing a fuel line going to the fuel injector, it was too hard and brittle, dark brown in color. I tried everything (boiling water and heat gun),but no luck. Was able to acquire a fuel line that was in very good condition and had a successful repair.
My first drive I had this really strong gas smell and check my newly installed fuel line but was not leaking. Later found leaking in spare tire area, the top line going into the plastic gas tank was almost hanging out. Looks like there was at one time a nipple bushing (I guess this is what they are called) that the plastic nipple with a hose attached was pushed into the gas tank.
Do you think these bushings are still available? Someplace!
If not is there a method of securing (jury-rig) this nipple/hose into the gas tank to eliminate the leaking?
Thanks in advance,
Lee
