Cherokee will sometimes hesitate right after being started

I normally notice it right after I fill up at the gas station...

just will feel like I am pulling a 2-3000 lbs trailer for a little while, then it is just fine...

ideas please?

I unhooked the fuel line at the pump and turned it over... it does not seems to be pumping much fuel, it only shot fuel a 1 and a half
