In at least some implementations, a fuel tank (10, 40, 54) includes a tank body (12) defining a chamber (14) adapted to receive liquid fuel therein, a reinforcement for the tank body (12) to permit the pressure within the chamber (14) to exceed the vapor pressure of a fuel to be received within the chamber (14), and an inlet to the tank body (12) through which fuel is added to the chamber (14). The inlet is configured to mate with a refueling nozzle through which fuel is added to the chamber (14) to permit refueling the tank (10, 40, 54) and maintaining the pressure in the chamber (14) above atmospheric pressure.
