    I have a 2001 Hyundai. Takes forever to fill up. Gas runs in for a short bit
    then stops. I think it may be the carbon air cleaner blocked up. Where is
    it? And how can I deal with it? Anone else had this problem? Would
    appreciate any help.

    I had that happen for the first time, the last time I filled up my 07 Santa
    Fe. Not concerned about it yet.

    Three semi-common problems:
    Fuel in canister, clogged canister filter, and stuck closed close
    valve. All are typically located with the charcoal canister, which on
    most 2001 models is at the left rear of the vehicle. If you give me
    the model of your Hyundai vehicle, I should be able to confirm
    location.

    On '07 and newer Santa Fes, spiders like to build nests in the vent
    hose near the top of the filler neck. To inspect, it'll be necessary
    to remove the fender liner.
