Answer
Hi Doug,

You might want to check (with your local Jeep dealer) to see if the Fuel Tank Sending Unit Gasket recall has been done to this vehicle -- and if it was, has it split or cracked again? The recall is 624, and has the same symptoms you describe -- even if you tightened it, it can still crack, allowing vapors to escape.

Good luck!
