( it also happens with the fuel cap off when tryed at home) :coy:

Which has nothing to do with it. The gas doesn't magically appear at the engine just because you filled up. The old gas was still in the line.

Your question has nothing to do with the gas, because although that's what you remember doing, what you also did was shut off the engine and re-start it- the condition which puts the most stress on your timing belt.
Confirm that you haven't jumped timing, and then check for stored ECU trouble codes.
