1988 RT4WD is Smoking when Refueled.....Help

I have a 1988 RT4WD with the 1.6 liter FI engine, that usually runs just fine. I noticed a problem after I fueled it up with premium, then started it the next morning there was a lot of white smoke coming from the exhaust. This continued for about ten minutes until it got warmed up. This behavior of emitting white smoke when it was cold continued for a few days, then stopped smoking all together. I again filled up the car with premium at the gas station (about a week later) and then tried to start it, and it wouldn't start the first few times. The next morning when the engine was cold it started putting out white smoke again, and was rough to start. I checked all my fluid levels and they were fine except for my oil level was high on the dipstick, can that cause this problem? The smoking only happens when there is a full tank of gas. If anyone knows the problem or can suggest a solution or just the next step, that would be great...Thanks

But before you do that, maybe either resolder all the joints on the main fuel relay or buy a new main fuel relay, see if that solves the issue. Also, make sure you have a proper Honda petrol cap as it will work at the right pressure etc.
My main fuel relay always plays up right after refuelling.
I highly doubt its smoke. I'd put money on it being steam.
