New here and have jeep fuel issues:(
I know its not a cherokee but cant find help anywhere else!!!
Ok well I have a 2004 wrangler se, its a 4 cyl auto trans. I am having a wierd issue with the fuel system. When ever the tank gets below half full/empty it will start to stall when only making right hand turns
Also the smell of fuel is present at all times, very much so when I fill up.
....I am thinking to go the fuel pump route, but any ideas?

Sounds like the pump pick-up, or the rubber lines in the tank are the problem. Also check the rubber lines where they leave the tank, and the return & vent lines and the vapor canister. The fuel filler neck should be checked also. Anytime you smell gas fumes you should check all lines and fittings to prevent a possible fire. Surprisingly, the vent line going to the Emissions vapor canister can allow gas fumes to escape when there's a leak, (instead of running them back through the engine) and could cause a fire.

I have checked the filler hose and its fine all fuel lines upfront are good, the leak is near the gas tank itself, also I filled it up one time until the handle clicked and it spit fuel all over the rear from the tank.
lol also there is a beeping noise that comes I think from the evap charcol canister when I start it cold????

That's the Evap system solenoid, I think. My '04 WJ did that a few times, and we took it back and it was fixed under warranty. They replaced it and added a rubber isolator in the mount, which on mine is on the left inner fender near the master cylinder.
