About 1 minute of driving after fueling the car, it would start to sputter and stall, like it was not getting any gas. The car sometimes died completely. The car would always restart then drive fine until the next time I stopped to get gas. I had the evap pump (?) replaced. This seems to made the problem better but it occasionally still happens.
