2009 hyundai elantra gas tank engine light

Buy a new tank cap. Fill ur tank slower. Inspect the fill hose for akink or damage. And looknst the overflow vent line. Fuel caps keep air out they do need replacing once and a while. Ur take vents at the cap sounds like ur cap is not venting or ur return over flow line has issues try a new cap first. Then go deeper if issue still there chk the top of the tank where the gauge sending unit is. Etc etc.

Excessive Gasoline consumption after replacement of timing -belt

Even tho they are a certified garage they may have the cam timing off one or two teeth. I assume the check engine light is not on.
I also assume the belt did not break before you had it replaced.
I would take it back to the shop and tell them to check the cam timing.

I have a Hyundai Accent 2002, when check engine ligth, i go tu service center. The code returned for scan is P1401. please, how fix this code ?

P1401 - DMTL Malfunction
The diagnosis module comprises an electromechanically driven pump together with a change-over valve and heater. The engine management system measures the pump's electrical current consumption while pumping air into the canister and fuel tank to check the system's leakage.
If the electrical current consumption is over the threshold value specified before in the memory, this means that there is a tank-system leak.

(1) DM-TL monitoring operation starts only after all the conditions below are met.
A. Vehicle soaking over 4 hours and 30 minutes.
B. Engine coolant temperature over 2.3°C (36.14°F) when starting.
C. Ambient temperature between 1.5°C (34.7°F) and 40.5°C (104.9°F).
D. 6.4l or more gasoline in the fuel tank.
E. Over 20 minutes driving after starting.
F. During Air Bag is not working.

(2) And also you can check the DM-TL operation with simulation mode of HI-SCAN.

I have a 1998 Elantra wagon. At first the air bag light came on now the check engine light came on. When I turn on the headlights the dash lights dimm. Is this the battery or alternator?

One problem at a time. Whenever the "Check Engine" light comes on, there is always a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) stored in the ECM (Engine Control Module). You'll need an OBDII (On-Board-Diagnostics) scanner to retrieve any codes recorded/set in ECM. Once you do this and let us know what, if any codes are set, then we can go from there. The AirBag light's a different story - Take the vehicle into a Hyundai Service Center (dealership), pay the diagnostic fee. They will tell you EXACTLY what the problem is and what's needed to fix it (parts, labor, tax, time-frame, etc.). Once you find out what the problem is, them maybe you can repair it yourself.
