    I'm confident I don't have any leaks I've got a new gas cap on my underseat gas tank but I swear that the gas in my tank is evaporating out. Is this or could this be a problem and if so where would I start? Sitting or standing by my Jeep I don't smell gas which would lead me to the source. There just doesn't seem to be a lot of places it could be?

    Does your Jeep sit outside? They're super easy to siphon.

    a bad fuel pump will pump it out on the ground or into the oil pan, or if you have a teenager.....hide the keys.
