What's involved
What this repair actually is.
The gas cap seals your fuel tank so vapors can't escape, and a cracked or loose cap is one of the most common reasons an EVAP check engine light comes on. We install the correct sealing cap for your vehicle and clear the code so the light can turn off once the system re-tests itself.
Symptoms
How you can tell.
- Check engine light with an EVAP or 'small leak' code
- Fuel smell near the filler area
- Cap doesn't click or tighten properly
- Cap is cracked, damaged, or missing
If you delay
The check engine light stays on, fuel vapors keep escaping, and you can fail a New York State emissions inspection over a bad cap.
