I have a 2000 Hyundai Accent.[1] Two weeks ago the check engine light came on and simultaneously when I went to fill up my gas tank, the pump shut off like it was full after just a gallon or two.[2] I took it in to be looked at this past week and the computer diagnosis for the check engine light said it needed a new gas cap, new gas/air filter and a fuel injection cleaning/service, all of which I had done.[3] Yet when I went to fill up, the same thing happened and this has happened at three different gas stations.[4] I took it back to the service station and they looked it over an found no unusuals, no blockage, no hardening of the lines or hoses for the gas tank and said they can find nothing wrong.[5] Has anyone else had this problem and what was the resolution because I have no answers so far ...
