scan for codes even if the light ain't on , could be fuel pressure regulator or IAC valve , clean the IAC port .

Sounds like the purge valve for the EVAP system is stuck open. This will allow gasoline to be forced into the engine while refueling. It should trigger the check engine light or service engine soon light though. Hope that helps! Jim
