check your fuel cap.. make sure its seated right

also a good trick is. if the cap is messed. you can stretch a rubber glove over the cap and screw it on

look at your leak detection pump for cracked rubber boots or your fill tube for cracks.

Evap system road map:

Odds are that you'll find either a split hose or a failed hose clamp, Chrysler uses some real cheap a$$ clamps...
