    There's probably a vent line running alongside the filler tube, you'll have to look from under the car. See if it looks kinked or damaged. That could be your problem.

    Check the computer for any codes. Any Check Engine light on, because there should be some codes for this issue, typically there are EVAPORATIVE system codes for this such as a defective Vent Valve etc.
