99 s70 hard start after gas fill up

My 99 s70 starts hard after I fill the tank up. If I leave it running while filling it's fine. but if I turn the car off and then restart, I have to crank it a few time while pushing the gas peddle to get it running? Fuel filters replaced. Could it be the fuel pump?

I doubt it's the check valve in the fuel pump if it starts fine every other time except when just filled up.

Starts just fine in the morning?

Maybe some issues with EVAP system?

EVAP issue.

I am jumping ahead, but if you decide to replace the Purge Valve, Google "Bosch 0280142300", and you will see that it is about $42 online.

Thanks, I will look into that first. I thought the fuel pump change should be easy. But the pump in not located under the access plate in the trunk! It's about 6 inches off. So I would have to drop the tank to replace it.

One more question. It the purge valve the one by the fan shroud?
