id say the fuel tank vent valve, usually in passenger front wing has been disconnected and just left blank. | |

I scrapped it cause it was utter death trap so never did find out. But i believe there is some kind of vent that should let the pressure out the tank. | |

There's gotta be a leak somewhere, thoroughly check all the exhaust system, fuel tank breather pipes etc. I had a corsa do this everytime it was filled up with petrol. | |
