Car won't start after adding gas

This is the second time in a row after filling up that this has happened. Last month after I filled up, the car would crank but would not turn over. It finally started after 15 min. with the check engine light on. Drove home, took the truck to work, & came back home after work to start it with no problems & no check engine light on. Car was fine for the next two weeks (did not buy gas). This morning I bought gas (did not fill up put in $20.00) & the car wouldn't start again (crank & no turn over) till about an hour later. Could it be the fuel pump or gas cap? It's my wife's car: 2001 C240 51,000 miles & service B scheduled in 2,500 miles.

Thanks.

i had something similar, the first time it was my battery and the second was just random- still have no idea why... i would just bring it in and have the dealers check it out
