In this KZfaq I look at what caused the “GASCAP” message on my Jeep Wrangler dashboard and explain the solution I decided on to fix it. The “GASCAP” message indicates a problem with the fuel cap or evaporative canister system.
The vulnerable location of the canister on Wranglers makes it prone to damage from rocks and other obstacles. After looking at options, I went with the Poison Spyder® evap canister skid plate.
Please note that a series of video clips/photos is shown to illustrate my Jeep in a water and mud situation which did not follow the “Tread lightly” ethic. This was an unfortunate occurrence and, while I hope not to repeat this, I would also like to encourage other off-roaders to learn from others’ mistakes and avoid similar situations.
PS: After I uploaded this video, about two weeks later the “Gascap” message came back on😡. I added RTV automotive silicone to the O-ring between the canister and integrity module and the problem was again resolved. Sealant shouldn’t really be needed, but I assume using aftermarket parts (Autozone/O’Reillys) the seal/fit may not have been as tight as on an OEM unit. 𝘼𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙮.
