Gas Pump Shutting off

  

limbo414 -> Gas Pump Shutting off (1/29/2008 2:30:06 PM)

Ok so here is the deal. For some reason the past four times that I have tried to fill up my gas tank it will go .05 - .07 cents and shut the pump off. I thought maybe it was the pump or gas station so I went to another station and still the same thing. My husband thought it was just me so I made him go with me the next time I got gas and it does it to him to. Any ideas?

Sounds like a car with a plugged fuel tank vent.  One cause of this is topping off.  You will probably need to take it to the dealer.

I had the exact same problem. I would try to pump gas and it would shut off after like 3-5 seconds. I took it to the dealership and they had to replace 3 parts: the purge valve, the coal canister, and something like a DMTV module or something like that. The cause, they said, was topping off. Everytime you top-off a little bit of gas and residual crap gets caught up in the coal canister(I guess that is what it is there for) and it slowly builds up over time and creates problems such as this.
Unfortunately, now I am having problems keeping the gas in my car. I can pump gas now, but every time the nozzle shuts off, gas spews out of my car into a puddle on the ground. Any ideas? I have taken my car in three times so far and they still cant get it right. Hopefully you will have more luck and if you find out any other info please post. Thanks.

OK here is the thing.  Last week I took in my '01 Accent to the dealer for the same problem. It was the Canister, canister DMTL and purge valve.  There is a box below the fill pump with charcoal and it leaked out causing the fuel to stop pumping.  It is a common problem with Accents and Elantras.  If your car is under 5 yrs it is covered.  If you have the HPP for 10 yrs you are OK.
