Exclamation Fuel Tank Vacuum...2005 Caravan

2005 Dodge Caravan SXT
Hello Everybody...it start to happen four days ago, when I tried to fill up the fuel tank the pump kick off every two gallons and when I run my van the fuel gauge start to go down (higher RPM, faster empty reads/ low RPM, slow empty reads) and when I remove the fuel tank cap sounds like the tank take a huge breathe, but if I remove the fuel tank cap does not happen.....Can somebody help me please? Thanks!!!!
Ariel.
