go check your gas cap and make sure it is on tight. Anytime you get a check engine light on after fueling, this normally means you didn't get the gas cap on. Make sure you click it the required number of times if that is how yours works. Also, if you leave the engine running while filling up you are going to get a service engine soon light on.
