Tony and Listees:  I had the same problem shortly after I did the Wilfy fix
on the top vent seals replacement proceedure.  Turns out that he little dab
of silicone I used to seal up the filler neck breather nipple swelled up so
big that it virtually prevented any air from passing through it.  This is
likely not your case, but some sort of blockage in that line is definitely
causing your problem.  It's the plastic pipe that is about 5/8" in diameter
and runs pretty much parallel to the filler neck into the inner cavity of
the van.
