Yes but not everyone has caps sitting on their bench but most likely have a gas hose that fits and a bolt to fit the hose.

Ok but still as said the rubber was not made to handle any type of gas only coolant.
I have 1 in a stick transmission and I am worried it will not holt up but I have not driven this car yet so I be changing it out.

If youre not in a huge hurry, dont try to make a square plug fit in a round hole. I agree I would have the proper tank sent to you since its what you paid for. You shouldnt have to make it work. But if you want to make it work, I think youve been given some good options. Since it is still empty/new I agree with alans77crew and patching it now. Do it once and then you dont have to worry about rubber breaking down later on down the road.
