I had the same problem with my 2000 Stratus Gross evap leak. Turned out to be a bad fuel pump. Look and see if you can see a gas trail off the top of the fuel pump. Mine had actually burned a hole through the top of it. I posted pics of it about it a year ago if I can find the link I will post it.

here it is..
