the code your got is for your evap system, it probably has a leak, as for the gas problem, if you filler hose breather is cloged or kinked it will give you those problems you posted when filling up for gas.

There is also a roll over valve in the filler tube. It can be damaged and will make the gas nozzle think the tank is full.
