Peter,
If the tank is pressurised then you have a problem with the tank vent. Clean it and you will not have a pressurised tank.
Another issue is when you have a full fuel tank, the fuel level in the tank is higher than the fuel line outlet and fuel will flow out under gravity pressure. If this is the case, you can park facing up a hill to change the prefilter.
