Fuel tank air filter?

I can't find it mentioned anywhere on the rather extensive car fax service history on my 2013 that I just recently purchased

When I asked my dealer 10-ish years ago, they said the requirement to periodically replace the fuel tank air filter was an error in the manual and the filter never needs servicing. They said that all of this was communicated to them by Hyundai corporate. I've never had one done in all the years I've owned my cars, and never had an issue. So I would presume that most of our cars will not have any mention of fuel tank air filters in their service records.

Fuel Tank Air Filter / Fuel Filter

Hi everyone... I pulled the recommended maintenance schedule from Hyundai USAs website. It says at 30K to have change the fuel tank air filter and at 37500 to change the fuel filter. For the V6... Has anyone changed these themselves? I don't think I have seen much discussion anyone changing...

Good to know. After I posted I found a YouTube video on how it's done. Step 1 is remove the backseat!
Needless to say it's a labor intensive task .
Nice to know it can be bypassed.
Thanks for the information

I actually had to replace the charcoal canister filter on my 2011 4.6. while I can't prove it, I think the problem was caused by the gas station attendant topping off the tank. I'm in New Jersey so it's illegal to put my own gas.

Jersey is either the only one or one of two states requiring attendants.
I get weird looks when I'm up visiting and start to get out to fill up.
