One of the roll over fuel tank valves doesn't like cold weather.
It's a check valve to allow air to escape when fueling, if you roll the car the check valves close and keep fuel from escaping the tank. Air isn't escaping the tank fast enough. Pumps are pressure sensitive, there triggered to stop pumping over X fuel tank air pressure.
