I thought the main reason the tanks are buried is because the temperature underground is stable? The only thing I can see that might be affected by temperature would be the pump itself.

Modern cars have a sealed vapor recovery system, the car burns the vapors. So I can’t see tank level having any affect either.

The car doesn’t burn the vapors, they are condensed back to the tank unless the carbon canister gets overloaded.
