Fuel tank vacuum

When I take my fuel filler cap off to fill it up, there is always a really 'powerful' vacuum. Alot of air rushes in when releasing the cap. Is this normal or should I be looking for a blocked breather ?..
The car runs fine.....

this is normal, for all cars, as the fuel pressure changes depending on temperature.
