Major Gas Leak

The other day, when I took off my variator and replaced the stock weights with some dr. pulley sliders, I totally forgot to bolt my gas drain hose from the carburetor on to the cvt. So I went to the gas station and filled up on gas, came home and went inside. All of a sudden my mother is screaming "WHY IS THE DRIVEWAY FILLED WITH GAS?!?!?!?" as the whole house started to smell up.

When I went outside to check what happened, sure enough the plug on my gas drain hose had been completely removed and had must have fallen off due to vibration on the way home from the gas station without me noticing. An entire gallon of gas had drained into the driveway. The only thing I'm thankful for is that I did not put seafoam in the tank yet, so I didn't waste any of that good stuff.

Right now my gas drain hose thingy is plugged up with a screw and a zip tie, but I'd like to replace that temporary plug with the proper screw and metal thing that hooks on to my cvt.

Does anyone know what this thing's proper name is? Or where to buy one?
