Petrol smell

After being out for a run the fuel tank is under pressure and smells strongly of fuel. Now if remember right there is a system to put the vapor into the engine and put the tank under vacum.
I cant find where it is mentioned on the site.

Had this problem in reverse with movvy, once below top of the red on the dash the car stank of petrol. Filling up past this solved it, and releasing the petrol cap also fixed it but had high pressure, funnily only on movvy.
Thre is a canister in front of the petrol tank and this captures the carbon etc-so I've been told.

I have just replaced my fuel tank because of this issue. Also the fuel filter, I think the filter had never been changed judging by its condition.
The tank was not in good nick. Gave me the opportunity to clean up and paint rear of car.
