Default Feels like fule leak but no idea?

So past week my gas has just been disappearing, sometimes over night the jeep will lose pressure in the fuel lines but not always, I can't find a leak anywhere and my fuel gauge will fluctuate by 1/4 tank sometimes like literally right now I got in it this morning and was in the red, got in it on my lunch and the same thig was in the red, got home and sitting in the jeep and it goes slowly back up...

Are you really losing fuel (can you smell it?) or is your gauge merely saying you did?

Not being stolen its in a garage, but the tank will fluctuate after I turn it off and then let it sit and run for a couple mins... Would this be whole pump assembly?
