I don't think it's the bent hose that causes it. Mine are kinked and I've had zero problems(one is about 75% closed in 2 spots). The vent from the evap canister goes to the top of the fuel fill neck. there is a separate thinner line from the top of the fuel tank that goes to the filler neck too(skips right past the evap can). There is a known fueling overfill problem on some Jeeps(sure you've seen the threads). Some Jeeps are more susceptible than others, and a large majority who had fueling problems had them without an evap relocate.

I was told by a tech at the stealership that you could potentially fill the evap up with gas by topping off your tank all the time. He told me to stop once it clicks the first time. Dont know how true this is???.....
