So went to fuel up before going to AC/DC concert, I never go to full serve but this makes the story better. I'm checking the oil and hear the sound of a waterfall, the person filling my jeep looks at me confused, I look under the jeep and see gallons of fuel pouring out!!! Ummm, I think that's good! I shout as she keeps pumping, so $13 later I look underneath and see a broken white plastic nipple attached to my filler neck but not so well to the tank... Also a broken vent fitting and a broken sensor or something above my rear locker connection. 
Appears I should have moved the e-brake lines below the cross member and also not have gone wheeling in the mud. Scared to think how much water is in the tank since I took it to the car wash. Dodge says I have to buy a new tank $1300, 4Wheelparts $980, I've put a bungee cord on it and covered it in AB epoxy putty. Anyone else had any luck getting the fittings for full nipple and evap? And what the hell is that broken electric piece above my locker wires? Thanks again Jeeples!!
Edit: had enough fuel to make it to the concert, ran pretty rough after the low fuel light came on, fueled up and didn't loose any fuel, runs better with a full tank and the concert was FREAKING AMAZING!!!!

Yeah, bad news man. Those tanks parts are molded in and can't be replaced. Also bad news is I had a nearly new stock tank and couldn't get rid of it, so I threw it in the trash.
Post up in the wanted section of the forums and see if someone has a used one laying around. Enough people have gone to aftermarket tanks that you should be able to find one.
Lastly, get one from a salvage yard. Will cost waaaaaay less than new.

In Canada so the wanted section is a pretty long shot. Thanks for the heads up on not being able to get the parts. Gonna try more epoxy to see if I can get the gas cap warning to go away, better stay out of the deep water in the mean time lol
