Car wont start after taking fuel (petrol/gas)

Volkswagen Passat 2012 sedan, 5 cylender, 2.5l petrol engine 27100 miles
This just started about a month ago. Car starts normally until i buy fuel (petrol) into the tank then it wont start till after like 5-10 minutes. After which, everything becomes normal till next fueling. I suspected that the fuel tank could be dirty, but found it clean when it was opened recently. Please someone should help with possible solution(s)

Perhaps your fuel tank vent is pluged or clogged causing a vapor lock at fueling. Try starting after fueling with fuel tank cap loosely pleased on tank
