Default ? about fuel pressure in the tank

I have a 97 rs and my tank builds of a very significant amount of pressure. when I take the gas cap off it releases air for a good 3 to 4 seconds. I have seen pressure build up in other cars and never thought anything of it but it just seems like a lot of pressure for this one, more than should be, i feel. what do you guys think

Alot of it has to do with the temperature outside. With the warmer temps and low amounts of fuel in the tank will allow for more gas vapours inside the tank. So I wouldn't worry about it.
