Default Fuel spraying from engine. Please tell me what piece this is. (Pictures)

This is a 1995 Jeep Cherokee 2 door, 5 speed manual, 3.4L I believe.

I am not that great with engines. I just drove my jeep from Reno, NV to Tucson, AZ and after I got here I smelled a fuel leak. I opened the hood and then started the engine and fuel is spraying upwards about 6" - 12" from the top of the engine.

Can someone please tell me what piece this is so I can attempt to get it fixed? I can't find any engine diagrams.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Yup! Had the same problem with a Grand Am I just got rid of. When the engine was cold it would leak...once it got warmed up it would stop. Cost about $50 for the part on the Grand Am, not sure what one will run for an XJ but probably pretty close.
