EVAP System Repair needed, could just be a purge valve. Charcoal cannister or basically the engine getting flooded. The extra fume going to the enginecan give o2 sensor codes, so find the EVAP system fault and repair.

Never fill fuel tank after it clicks the first time as continuing will fill the charcoal cannister and/or if purge valve is bad it floods the engine at start up, then the cannister will have to be change out or charcoal filter element changed out from it. And if purge valve is bad replace.
