Positive fuel tank pressure??

[Tigran Varosyan]

Yea, however, exactly the opposite is happening... Instead of the tank
developing vacuum due to lower gasoline level, the tank is some how
developing some serious pressure.... I am not even sure how...
What gives?
Ideas?

Isn't there supposed to be a one-way vent in the cap to allow air in to
equalize pressure as you empty the tank through engine operation?   Maybe
you need a new cap???  You don't want fuel fumes escaping the system.
