Default gas tank wont fill

08 santa fe.. 24K miles... recently when pumping gas it stops at about midway, before that it stopped around 3/4 mark. I've tried repositioning the nozzle.. taking the nozzle out for trapped air.. etc... still nothing... any ideas?

Poor attitude...

2008 & 24,000 mile, why you goofing with it ?? Take back and let the Hyundai people repair it under the 5/60 warranty ??

Might be a day or 2 with out vehicle while they inspect and get part(s) coming from part depot .. beat them up for a service loaner..

Lose the attitude. You're not going to spend a cent. It's covered under the warranty.

Had this happen while fueling in the USA. Canadian pumps have splash guard on nozzle which prevent nozzle to go deep. I figure this what happened in the USA and never happen again.
