Rio wont start and stalls after filling gas tank

Kia Rio 2005  268000 miles
Whenever I fill my fuel tank totally full the car either wont start or stalls out if it does start. I had new gas tank and fuel filter (inside the tank) replaced by dealer about 10 months ago.

2008 Kia Optima. Same problem. After fill up the car starts and runs fine. Then a few minutes later it stalls. No codes. I replaced the EVAP purge valve, but it still does it. If I stop the fill up before the gas pump shuts off automatically then I have no problems.
