Filler neck is likely. Mine was leaking. Replaced it, and the hose clamp slipped off after about two months. Fixed it again, still good. I think I'm gonna move my filler neck to the driver side bed rail when I open up my wheel wells.

Now that is an overkill stinger! Id check over everything bimmer jeep suggested. Give it the whole once over tune up wise as well. Unless your fuel tank is leaking.

The bottom of my tank was rusted so thin that gas was weeping through it. The loose filler neck was splashing gas on hard turns. New tank, new hoses, no more trouble. May not be your problem, though.
