Fuel Pouring out like Niagara Falls!
I'm working on the Jeep this morning wiring up new fog lights, and I start smelling gas. I look back toward the rear driver side and see gas flowing out from behind the fuel filter (I think that's what it is) like a waterfall. Is this a sign that is time to change the fuel filter? lol
I added two pictures to show it was coming out from behind the round canister (which I am pretty sure is the fuel filter).

You are correct, that is somebody's hooptie attempt at a fuel filter. Go buy a Wix fuel filter ($15) and replace that plastic piece of crap!
In the mean time, you can pinch the soft line at the back of the "filter" to keep from dumping the contents of your tank in the driveway.
