Hard to start after getting gas

[atswilson]

My gladiator has 78k miles on it now. I stopped 2 weeks ago and filled up and it would not start back up. I finally held the pedal to the floor and it started it died a couple times before I could keep it running. It has done the same thing the past 2 fill ups. The last time I only put 5 gallon in it, and it still does the same thing.
Please help.
Thank you

I haven't had it happen on my Gladiator yet, but on other vehicles I've had it was a bad EVAP purge valve that caused that.

Same gas station? Probably shitty gas. If there is water in the gas it goes to the bottom of the tank and gets picked up first right after a fill-up.

Has it happened anywhere other than the gas station? If not id be looking at fuel lines for a drip. It sounds like it’s not getting the fuel it needs until the pump primes it again. Meaning the system is not staying pressurized when you go to fill it up. Maybe someone else can get more techy with what I’m trying to say.
