Had the same problem.. could be either the fuel canister filter

(about $20) or canister valve (about $150) <--parts only. dirty filter or bad valve can cut off the airflow when your fueling so basically the force of the fuel going in builds up pressure and then spits back out at you... both of these parts are located under the car about mid section in a rectangular looking box held up by two metal straps. I think Kia should offer some type of rebate on the part or service for this.. due to how dangerous this is. Until you get it fixed, you might try to fill very slowly and release the handle on the pump a few times in between as you fill as to allow the gas and pressure to go back down in the tank, It will take a while but at least you won't get sprayed..

What would cause gas to back up and splash when fueling a 1996 Plymouth Neon?

I own a 1997 Plymouth neon and i work part time at a gas station. Normally the neons don't splash back, but for lots of vehicles it is normal. for instance the new Chrysler sebrings they splash back something fierce, that is normal. it all has to do with the way the line running to the tank and the tank are set up. My 95 neon splashes back too when the tank is low or near empty. I jus figure its cuz all that gas rushing into an empty tank all at once causes a big wave that comes back at ya. Pump it slow to begin with and it wont splash.

How can you make a splash screen in c or c plus plus?

Many people use a modified version of the program's About dialogue window as a splash screen, but you can also create a dedicated splash screen window that contains an image of the company logo along with some program information. The choice is yours but ultimately a splash screen is nothing more than a window that is shown while a program loads in the background. When the program has loaded, the splash screen is closed automatically. The simplest method of displaying your splash screen is to use a program loader function. Typically this will be your program's main function or a function called from your main function. The program loader first loads and displays the splash screen, then loads the rest of your program in the background before closing the splash screen window and finally showing the main window. Some splash screens display progress information during the load sequence, thus your program loader should send messages to the splash screen and give time to the system to allow messages to be processed. This will increase the time it takes to load your program, but if the load process is lengthy to begin with, it is better to give some indication of the progress.
