You probably think about your gas cap approximately, never. It’s a silent hero of the fuel system, until something goes wrong. If your gas cap has an issue, it will usually cause a Check Engine Light to appear. When this happens, it either needs to be tightened or replaced.
Watch Tim from AutoZone explain how to check your gas cap and determine if a replacement is needed.

I bought the Duralast gas cap from you guys and it didn’t work in clearing my CEL. I bought another one on Amazon and it worked.

Keep in mind unless you get the OEM gas cap that only 1 in 5 of these other gas caps works right

Thanks for the heads up, I bought an oem cap on eBay and it was fake the gasket is flimsy and don't seal properly ,Amazon has the same issue with many counterfeits I guess I have to buy it from the dealer or other reputable site.

@@G.Alvarez I tried AutoZone and it worked for a few days and then I had to return it. Wound up getting one from the dealership for $35 and problem solved.

I cleaned the gas cap (Volvo V70) with WD40. The check engine light turned off after a while.

You don't have to use Autozone, you can also use a different supplier. But I guess every american beyond the age of 2 will know this.

Why not run the computer check first that way if the cap is not the problem and not waste money on unneeded parts to begin with

Alot of cars dont tell you where the leak is Just that there is a leak And youd want to replace the worn cap bc that would prevent the vacuum from forming and would bring up the code Can also bring it up if its dirty and that ends up getting in the way or how mentioned, not closed correctly

@@AC_4643 Much easier to replace that rather than something expensive too. Surprised you can't just buy a gasket for it.

I bought a Duralast gas cap a few months ago and the rubber seal fell off failed emissons. Took it back and AZ assoc said I need to buy another as that paticular gas cap has no warranty.
