Default starting problems

Everytime after I fuel up my car struggles to start. It only happens after fueling. It was like this before I modded my car so I know its not my error. 99.5, A4 1.8T, tip. I don't top off, just fill and go and close the cap tightly. The dealer doesn't know what to make of it either.

HELP! Thanks

Default My 99.5 2.8 does same thing

After I fuel up and start the car, it hesitates for about 1/2 a block.
I think, may be pressure has to build-up inside the tank.
If you drive off with the tank open, you'll get an engine error signal at the dashboard.
