Why does it need any fixing? I bet most cars have air in the tank from all the times we have to fill in.

Below is the picture of what happens when the petrol cap is closed

Looks like it develops a vacuum? There must be a breather somewhere that is blocked - probably in the cap.

I see, the whole system is under pressure so it doesn't have anything to do with air in the system, it looks to me like that pipe is not pushed in all the way or someone worked on it and damaged it, most probably not knowing how to unclip it.

I once had that problem on my Corsa lite, all it took was just clipping it in properly. Maybe check if the filter clipping thing is not damaged, that would be the best case scenario because you can just buy the filter, it's damaged on the fuel line you have problems.

Yes looks like it developed a vacoom,where is the breather,am clueless

As you can see, this is what it must look like, on yours the white plastic thing is too exposed. It shouldn't be able to work itself out from there, if it does something is broken.

I have pushed the pipe deep n clipped it correctly but the problem is still there

The breather pipe runs alongside the filler pipe, looking underneath your wheel arch on the filling side you will probably see it, no idea where the regulator is located.

Looks like the vent valve might be at the front.
