You might check behind the driver rear tire.  Reach around or crawl under and the Jeep, behind the tire, in the inside of the frame should be a square boxlike skidplate with a small cylinder in it.  That's the fuel filter.  See if ti's wet there.  If it is the small rubber elbow that connects the fuel filter to the fuel hardline probably has a crack in it and it leaking under pressure.
