Tank Filler Pipe And Cap Problems of Saturn VUE

"check engine" light came on. Fault code p0446. Gas tank hisses loudly when I undo the gas cap. Loud popping sound (like pressure releasing from a plastic bottle when air is sucked out and then air is allowed to re-enter),from under the car. I am concerned that my gas tank could rupture, leak or explode and catch fire.
