Hopefully one of the Jag techs will chime in on this, but my first guess would be the charcoal canister is plugged. The canister is a device made to recover fumes. If it's plugged or flooded, you will have a strong odor and it won't allow air to enter the tank as fuel is displaced, causing the tank to collapse and make a popping sound.
A quick way to verify this would be to loosen the fuel cap when this is happening. A sudden rush of air would indicate the canister is blocked.
