now i say MOST 4dr's have a plastic tank and if your not smelling fuel then i doubt you have a cracked tank. the VENT SOLENOIDs stick open on those all the time, easy fix for 18 bucks and 20 minutes. its to the left of the spare tire under the body has a hose and a 2 wire plug on it. the actual code would help some....napa has them

Some people on here have complained about broken off tank vents, and have been able to epoxy them back together. I've never dealt with this, but it is a possibility.
