2011 GMC acadia SLE fuel issue.?

Everytime I get fuel my car wont start. I have to turn the key and keep pressing gas for it to start. It only does this when I put gas in. What could be the problem? Theres no fuel filter.

    I'll bet you keep on filling the gas tank once the auto shutoff on the pump stops the gas flow. That floods the carbon canister with raw gasoline. Then the purge valve sucks the gas out of the carbon canister and floods the motor. Hold the gas pedal down to the floor and hold it there while restarting the motor. That shuts off the fuel injectors so you have a chance to get it started when flooded. Better go to a mechanic. The last time I had to replace a carbon canister and blow out the vent lines it cost $600 for parts and labor. Quit topping off the gas tank!
