Has anybody found a solution for this issue? My Jeep has been smelling like gas after it sits in the garage. When i go out to the Jeep in the morning the garage smells like gas and it is the strongest smell at the passenger rear tire area (where the tank is) I looked but couldn't see anything damp, but tomorrow i'm going to check all the hoses incase something is loose. Haven't been wheeling at all lately so this is just out of the blue.
But what you describe would worry me. It is quite different than the other posts in the location of the smell. You may want to drop the tank ASAP to get a good look at things, and make sure there is no leak.

I have smelled fuel a couple times (over 4 years) when the tank was almost empty, after parking in the barn. I chalk that up to an inexpensive locking cap venting some fumes.

If I get a chance later today, gonna look for a write up.
I would not doubt if they put the darn filter inside the tank.

Old thread. New problem for me. Just noticed the smell of gas, strongest outside, under passenger side rear by muffler (not by tank as much as it is further rear). This started with the jeep in the driveway. Mostly sitting. No wheeling lately, sadly. No visible leaks anywhere.
EVAP looks fine. No cracks evident, lines all look fine. etc.
The tank is about 3/4 full. Never had problems with splashing back at fill up. Everything is original except that I relocated the EVAP 8 years and 128,000 miles ago.
Thoughts? Fuel line above tank leaking?

The vent line (above) might also be cracked?
