Default Fuel tank vent valve???

Hey guys I was replacing my fuel pump on my 2005 Dakota but I accidentally broke off one of the nipples to which I believe is a rollover vent valve of some sort it goes connected to the fuel Neck I believe...I believe it allows pressure and when u fuel up at the gas pump.....I couldn’t find it anywhere online and the dealer says I have to replace the whole tank any ideas where I can possibly get one or any idea how to fix??

Find out the INSIDE diameter of the piece that broke off. Then go to a hardware store and get some steel tubing that will snugly fit the inside of that fitting.

Cut the tube about two or three inches long and use it to make a bridge between the broken piece and the tank vent valve. With the steel tube bridging the inside between the two parts, use some epoxy to finish sealing the outside of the joint.
