hey guys my fuel tank seems to pressurise itself so much so that when i take off the cap it shoots about 500ml of fuel out at me. any ideas? is there a vent that might be blocked?

If you take off the cover inside the tub that covers the fuel hose, there should be a hose and box setup as a pressure releif setup. that hose is probably blocked

check the charcoal cannister doesnt have water in it as this causes blockages, then blow out the lines with comp air.

so i should give the hoses a hit with air from the charcoal canister end first and see what happens? i dont really want to remove the cover from the tray area, it is spot welded in

My lwb does the same. Maybe I should look into it as well.
It is worse on a long trip between fill ups
