Pretty much anything metal.  Exhaust pipe offcuts or whatever.  I
welded up a replacement from a couple of filler pipes from different
junker vehicles when I needed one right away.

One reminder: If yours has a vent tube inside the main filler pipe,
don't forget to put it back into the new one.  I did that.  Ended up
spending 20 minutes per fillup, dribbling the gas in so slowly that
the pump meter probably wasn't reading right.  Booorrring too.
