I think the '97 is supposed to have a non-vented gas cap, otherwise you'll get a check engine light.
It sounds like you have a problem with the tank venting/purge system. Check the hoses going to the purge valve under the hood; they might be cracked/broken off. The purge valve itself could be bad. Maybe the hoses to the carbon canister (part of the emission control system) are broken, plugged, who knows what. If the tank isn't vented properly through all that stuff, the fuel pump can pull a vacuum on it and collapse the tank.
Search the board.
