Question

I purchased a 03 Santa Fe and over the last two months I have filled up the gas tank 4 times. After fillilng the tank with gas the Santa Fe has an issue starting. So I turn the key and pump the gas an it will start, but then I have to keep rev-ing the engine to keep it running. I then pop it in gear and take off with a higher RPM for a couple minutes until it will stay running at idle. Two out of the four times filling up I have added a bottle of GAS treatment in case there was water or something. But that hasn't seemed to help. It starts just fine at all other times beside right after filling up with Gas. Any thoughts???

Hi, my name is XXX, XX these vehicles, you must stop filling when it shuts off, if you try to top off the tank, then fuel gets in the evap system and it will run rich until you clear it out, Try next time filling it until it stops only, dont try to fill it more after this.Tim
