Problem overview

Some Hyundai Elantra owners report experiencing stalling after refueling, which may be attributed to fuel pump failure. This issue can occur when the fuel pump is unable to deliver sufficient fuel to the engine, potentially leading to performance problems. Symptoms of a failing fuel pump may include the engine throwing a P0087 trouble code, indicating low fuel pressure. Timely repairs are crucial, as addressing fuel pump issues early can help prevent further complications and safety concerns. Additionally, some owners have noted that contaminated fuel, containing sediments or impurities, can contribute to engine stalling after refueling by causing clogs in filters and injectors. It is recommended for affected owners to have their fuel pump inspected and replaced if necessary to maintain proper engine performance and safety.
