Excessive Pressure in fuel tank - 96 Camry

[Yesman]

I have been searching through threads here, but not quite sure if I have a problem or not. I am experiencing excessive pressure from my gas tank the last month or so. It seems to even be affecting the gas guage. The pressure blows for about 3-5 seconds when I remove the gas cap. It has been extremely hot here lately. The problem seems worse when gas level is low. I am afraid there is so much pressure, it may cause a problem. I do not have a check engine light on. Car does not seem to run differently. Has anyone else expeienced this problem? Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

i have experienced the same exact situation but only when the tank is getting very low and no matter the outside temp. This has happened for as long as I've own the car (5-6 years) and never had a problem. Still get awesome mileage per tank (890km is my best) average 650-700km
