2017 Nissan Altima — long crank only after filling the fuel tank

NoMarkupCamper583Community StarterFeb 27, 20262017 Nissan Altima 2.5 SVNorth Jersey

The car starts normally most of the time, but after filling the tank it occasionally cranks longer and runs rough for a few seconds. Could EVAP/purge behavior cause this, and what would you test? Mostly looking for the right next step.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2017 Nissan Altima owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. I'd do that before spending real money. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. This is the version I'd tell a friend.
