2002 Kia Rio 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 62000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
My Kia Rio Cinco is having problems. I can only add a few cents of gas at a time. It can take as long as 15 minutes to fill up the tank. Sometimes the gas starts to back out of the tank eventhough it is not close to being full.

Can someone please give me some help? I am worried that my wife will get stuck somewhere when it decides not to take any fuel.

sounds like the gas tank vent is blocked, not allowing the air to escape as you fill. you should see two tubes going into the tank, one to fill, the other is the vent. Check it to make sure it's not blocked. The only other thing, is if there is a mesh filter in the fill tube, and if it's blocked, it won't fill.

You should replace the tank.
and replace the filter and pump too.
I have a problem with my 2001 not showing a full tank of gas when I fill it and the pump stops on its own. Now i slowly fill it manually until it stops or I can hear the feul nearing the top of the tank. mine is most likely a bad floater inside the tank.
The problem your having is more then likely a bad tank.
take it to the dealer and have them check it out.
