Long start cycle - another case

In following the other streams of hard starting, I've got one with my son's 95 900S, 2.3L NA, automatic, 104K miles. It sits outside every night and starts right up. Occasionally, while sitting at school for the day (like 6 hours), it'll take a long time to catch while cranking. It can happen at different temps outside, but the one thing I could cobble together from his description is that it happens shortly after he's filled his gas tank.
In reading earlier streams, some folks indicated that the FPR has been known to have issues in this situation, so I replaced it a while back and thought it fixed the problem, but it came back last week. Other than this occasional long-crank situation, it runs fine, so it doesn't appear to be a fuel pump situation (and the filter was changed last fall about 5K miles ago, too).
So thoughts are around maybe the smog canister - maybe issues with pressure after a fillup? The gas cap is a non-vented type, and maybe that has a play in this (Dean said a while ago that a 95 had a vented cap, but for the life of me I can't find a Saab vented gas cap). Everything else looks good - plugs, new wires, cap/rotor, air filter, all vacuum lines changed, new IAC valve, throttlebody clean and tight, techron run about a month ago (do it every 5 months).
thoughts would be appreciated!
