Gas tank suction. A LOT

Every time I pull off my gas cap for filling the tank it sucks for a long time. I have never had a car have this kind of suction in the tank.

Any ideas what's going on? Some people say it's normal from what I have read but I don't think so.

u want the suction to stop? Pull the tank down, pull sending unit and fuel pump out, take gasket off of sending unit, put pump and sender back in tank, put tank back where it belongs, drive, then pull gas cap, and no more sucky!


Or... You could just keep it the way it is and not have any issues....
