Fuel tank flapper valve broke

A couples of months ago I noticed the fuel tank flapper valve was not there anymore. Today my check engine light came on, could the missing valve have anything to do with the check engine light? If it does, can I get a new fuel flapper valve? Where?

THe flapper valve will be part of the filler housing and it will require the replacing of that end of the filler tube. Possible get a 2nd hand one fromk the wreckers THe flapper will be on the bottom of the tank and I cannot see any connection to the engine light which would have come on immediately if there was a connection. Run fault codes to determine which sensor./ servo put the light on

SOURCE: my check engine light came on my 02 SantaFe, what can i do?

Have the codes read to find out the fault code that triggers the light. Go to a mechanic, or your local auto parts superstore and have them check it. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: I bought a new hyundai accent back in 2006, after

Hyundia are the best car in the world. Sorry, but they are getting better. I haven't heard of a harness issue. anyway the coils have the ground in common, but the hot wires are separate. probably got there coil packs from china( junk). And I have seen coil packs break down one after the other on different models. Hopefully the dealer is using a better grade of coils. You might even ask them to go ahead and replace the rest of them, seeing there is an issue there. You just never know.

Hello and welcome to FixYa!
First, I suggest that you remove the positive battery connector and let it sit for at least 5mins. before reconnecting it. This will reset the system and can get your vehicle back to it's normal operation.
If the problem still persists, I suggest that you have the fuel filter replaced. Remember them tapping the tank? It may have loosen dirt and rust in the filter that's why she fired up again. But it won't last long for the dirt and rust will surely clogged the fuel filter again.
If removing the positive connector doesn't resolves it then go for the fuel filter replacement.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

What's causing the P0456 code?

  • A small leak in any of the EVAP hoses or fuel tank hoses
  • A small leak in the purge valve or vent valve
  • The EVAP Canister may be leaking- be sure fuel cap is sealing good, if in doubt replace fuel cap.

Service engine light on. Gas tank fills to 3/4 and clicks off. The model is XG350L 2004. The problem began about 2 months ago. It has been worked on once to replace a vacuum valve but still didn't fill up...

Did you have the fuel pump changed? They might of bent the electronic float assembly in the gas tank causing it to read 3/4 full.and making the check engine light come on.

Couple of months ago would cut out when but start immediately

I dont belive it is air that is cousing your problem. Think it is more an electrical isue. I have had some problems with relay module (engine bay, near engine computer). And check fuel lift pump.
hope it helps

Missing flapper valve on an 06 town & country van's gas tank

I doubt if that is the reason your check engine light is on. It is more likely an o2 sensor. However make sure your cap is tight when you add gas and don't leave the engine running while the cap is off. That can trigger the light

2004 GMC Envoy has trouble idling

Try the fuel filter. Sounds like the engine might be running rough due to weak fuel pressure. Its cheaper to replace, especially if it's still original from 04. Try running some injector cleaner through a couple of tanks of high octane gas.
