Im not familiar with the 4.0 but can assume the tank and evap system are very similar. Inspect the charcoal canister and all tubes to find the origin of the leak. If vapor is getting into your canister and settling as gas, it could leak out if the canister is damaged or you could be overfilling your gas tank and letting the evap system suck up liquid fuel, which it isn't really made to seal.
