Default 02 xjr fuel tank fill problem when hot

Men:
02 xjr fuel tank will not take on fuel when weather is hot i.e. car sitting in sun. When I take off cap fuel starts to push up into filler. I lnow system is closed for emission purposes, but is there a canister for capturing vapors if so where?
I had 2, 99's and never had a problem.

Thanks for your help.

Tell you what, without Bob's TSB's, this place wouldn't be half as useful, well in Bob.

O.K. Here's my up date, checked ccv on right canister seems good can blow through it both ways. Blew through both hoses all clear.
However, when I take off the hose on the left canister (i.e. the one that has the smaller line attached to it that leads to the front of the car), this hose also goes up to the top of the tank into the green plastic collar that's on top of the tank and blow into it, no flow through. Is there a check valve up there? There are no kinks,collapsed hoses both canisters are clear with airflow.
Any ideas?

Thanks again
