Sonata Fuel Tank Air Filter
I've got a 2006 Sonata LX approaching 30,000 miles. Both the Hyundai
web site and owners manual say to change the "Fuel Tank Air Filter".
I've never heard of this type of part. I've tried to google it and
nothing comes up. Anybody have any ideas of what it is and does it
really have to be changed?

Re: Sonata Fuel Tank Air Filter
I'm pretty sure they're talking about the canister air filter. If it gets
clogged, your tank won't be able to properly vent fuel vapors through the
charcoal canister. When this occurs, you may have difficulty filling the
tank, or the check engine lamp may come on, or both. I've only seen
about
three cars that had canister filter failures. I think the common theme
was
driving in dirty and dusty areas.

Re: Sonata Fuel Tank Air Filter
That may be correct for the Sonata. There was a thread on one of the
message boards about insulating the fuel filler tube to minimize the
sloshing noise. Apparently getting at that tube involves removing the
left-rear wheel well liner. It was mentioned that removing that liner
also gives access to the mysterious fuel tank air filter. ymmv.

Yes, near the filler. If you go to www.hmaservice.com they show a diagram
