    Sounds like a good gripe. On board vapor recovery systems can malfunction. Seems as if some one messed up when the vent valve was replaced take it to another Hyundai dealer tell them the story. Embelish the facts like fuel can come splashing out while filling isn't that a fire hazzard? Good luck

    When they removed the tank to replace the vent valve they kinked the fill tube hose putting tank back in. Make them fix it.
