Default Gas coming out from cap

Hi every one again
My next problem with jaguar is gasoline now.
Just put full gas tank of fuel and after couple miles I smell the gas. When I come back to my house and open gas tank cap, gas coming out from there, about 2 or 3 cups. When car on the sun couple hours and I open the cap, lot of air coming out. So it is normal or I have problem?
Thanks for any answer.

Like most everything gas expands with heat.Also the tank might not be venting properly.

Where I can find the vacuum diagram for emission system? I don't have any fault codes, if something like purge valve is bad "check engine" light should go on right?

In a different thread I found jaguarclassicparts.co.uk. You will find all of the parts of the Evaporative Emmision Control System. Could the purge valve be plugged?

I am not as skilled as many of the experts here. Maybe this will work. I am sure someone with more experience can comment about codes and lights.
