It may be flooded after fueling up , you're not pumping the gas but when you depress the pedal to the floor and hold it you may be canceling the fuel so that a flooded engine will start .

I have a 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe and had the same issue; car wanted to stall out and not start only after pumping gas. I replaced the purge valve and had no more problems.
