Refueling

Sometimes, when I go to fill the gas (petrol for my Euro friends) tank, there seems to be pressure in the tank that will not escape and it is not possible to let the fuel run. The auto shut-off feature of the fuel pump kicks in and it ends up taking about 5 minutes to refuel.

I WILL admit that this is usually immediately after 'spirited' driving Seems as though the tank should depressurize though.

Any similar experiences?

I'd be lost if I had somewhere to be!
