Fuel filler neck housing rotted through

I've got an '06 crv that has rusted through around the fuel filler neck. I've seen that Ford offers drip in replacements for their vehicles, but I've seen nothing for Honda. Is there a good way to address this issue without pulling the filler neck and/or dropping the tank? Are there parts commercially available as drop in patches or is this a "make it up as you go" situation?

Taking it to a shop is out of the question and I don't have a garage available to me.

Is it just the sheet metal around the filler neck or is it the filler neck?

I noticed on my 99 that it was rusting through just below the filler neck. I treated snd painted it. I took out the rear speakers and found lots of rust inside the cavity there. I treated that too. I think the filler neck is probably a separate piece that sits inside that body metal. I guess I could look up a parts diagram from the manual but no need since it’s intact.

It's just the steel around the neck. But it's completely rotted through. I'd need to cut out a good chunk to stop the rust. I was hoping that there might be something like a drop in piece I could patch into it or rivet in place instead of attempting fiberglass or welding around a gas pipe. But the only things I've found that are along those lines are for jeeps and fords. I was thinking I might be able to modify a Ford one to drop in after cutting out the rot.

Ours goes on the lift for the alignment hopefully this week so we will know more but from what I can see from my creeper is the inner rockers have some rot nearer the rear and the gas tank skid as well around the edges. We have a 1994 Toyota pickup and a 2004 F250 so rust doesn’t scare us too bad. Ha. I can stick stuff together with a welder but it might not look pretty when I’m done. I’m a better grinder than a welder but I have some talented friends. lol
