Check Fuel Cap - What to do First - Automotive Education

[@igorivanov4768]

I got a message recently. And I just cleaned the cap and places around the cap. And no message right now. Thank you very much! You made my day!

[@inquiringmind2852]

I replaced my gas cap and the cjeck engine light was still on. Watched your video and wiped out the mouth of the tank, and the light went off. Whew! Thanks ever so much❣️

[@eduardoalba1343]

I just turned on my car to go to work and it said check fuel cap message. I saw the video and thank you it solved the issue. It didn’t show any check fuel cap message anymore.

[@jill4735]

I am absolutely clueless when it comes to cars. Believe it or not- I watched your video to figure out how to simply take the fuel cap off. Thanks for the great video!

[@chicago-l9125]

Thanks So Much for the Simple Explanation! I did just exactly what you said respecting the checking and cleaning of the cap rubber "O" ring gasket and the surface of the gas filler neck. Once I did those things, the check fuel cap light went out almost immediately.

[@patriotrepublic8534]

Just cleaned and coated the cap and spout opening with wd40 and started crv. Dash cap alert still on. Played your video and took advice to totally clean and dry the seal and the opening and it worked like a charm. Gas cap check light gone. Thanks

[@stevespurlock3509]

Thank you so much! My problem on a 2007 Jeep was exactly what you suggested. Been off roading and the dust build up was what caused the problem. Quick and free fix!

[@billballoo7881]

For what it's worth, I had this msg on a 2015 Civic LX. I tightened the cap, took it off retightened numerous times. Would not go away. Drove it for a bit, still would not go away. Then I started the car with the gas cap removed, let it run for a minute then turned the car off. Put the gas cap back on, started the car and the msg was gone.

Thank you it actually helped you’re life saver

[@billballoo7881]

@@hitzche8645 Weird huh? Glad I could help.

[@Randomjedit]

Did it too, thanks it worked amazing

[@ThePuppetP15]

Going to try this, thank you

[@aitanamonzon8908]

Me ayudo mucho sii funciona hacerlo de esta manera de inmediato se quita el mensaje

[@keicha239]

Thank you that was simple easy to do. I like how you explained it step by step and clearly. This made my panic go away immediately. I could smell the gas coming from the gas cap and i cleaned it. It was a bit dusty and slightly dirty. My cap wasn't on tight either. Also I didn't know a gas cap that was loose, dirty, dusty , etc.. could cause problems. Now I know thanks to your clip.

[@freda2758]

Thank you. I'm less freaked out now. So, I followed your recommended steps and will keep an eye on it over the next couple days.

[@Youssef2mtl]

Bro you are the best … I did flip the ring as others said but the cleaning part as you said it fix the problem for me Thanks bro

[@lenshin8]

Thank you, I had some doubts but it worked. Very simple and quick.

[@LizzyTan-g6d]

Thank you! It truly worked 😅

[@Zekeyalvarez]

It worked thank you. 2008 Honda Accord Coupe

[@TBREAKTIME]

Love your style of videos!!

[@EppingForest304]

I also use some silicone spray on the rubber seal… for good measure 👍

[@timfitz6394]

This video worked thanks man !

[@ro-landocalrissian4633]

Is the code for a faulty gas cap the same as a code for an evap canister?

[@ro-landocalrissian4633]

Guys my problem turned out to be the sensor only..

[@danitzadanna7099]

​@@ro-landocalrissian4633 Hi! So do you change the sensor? Is it the canister? Because, i changed the cap but the error keep continue and now I have yellow light engine, thank you for your comment

[@ro-landocalrissian4633]

@@danitzadanna7099 so I found a good mechanic & he did a smoke test on it & it was the “purge sensor” only. It wasn’t expensive.

[@miguelullola3813]

Excelente hermano, mi ayudo , muy simple pero funciona.

[@kevhed8]

I was looking thru your videos looking for the part 2 of this series, but I did not find it. Did you fix your check engine light? Is there a video on that? Thanks

[@realjaxon]

Is that gas cap a one-click ? I'm asking because I have a '02 Ford Taurus and I bought a new gas cap that seems to be a one-click lock. I replaced it because the original gas cap continually spun with the clicking sound and I had a gas smell.

[@espinoedin]

Generally all working gas caps are multi click but Isaí ally it’s deacon end to do a 1-2 click for a good seal, but check you owners manual for what it recommends

[@hassanzia8427]

Thank you so much. It worked as soon as I wiped it with a rug.

[@PFMCHANNEL_]

This was very helpful Thank you

[@alexfesta6323]

Changing the fuel cap for under $15 would also solve the problem?

[@DeltaEchoUSMC]

Good tips Sauce, thanks for the video!

[@wangbar1]

What size push pin to connect the tether?

[@RickyPisano]

Not sure if my 2005 Ford 500 Limited has that warning light but I was told that it can cause the "check engine" light to come on if not sealed. Thanks!!

[@ebonyeyed08ti]

This happens with Chevy sparks as well, I'm sure that's what the problem was , always go to KZbin before shady mechanics who want to suck your bank account dry

[@sheyla77683]

Thanks 🙏

[@betsyfeng3963]

Thank you very much, it is very helpful.

[@KimmieAbbasServant]

Can I remove the tether line and use a regular gas cap without any damage

[@saheedakorede5749]

It's a fall safe mechanism so you dont lose your cover in the event of opening and it falls off without you noticing.its your choice and discretion tho.

[@gregmc71]

Have you found out how to remove the tether line? I want to replace my gas cap on my '07 Honda Accord and need to know how to release the old one.

[@lama644]

What’s the small button next to the fuel cap for ?

[@saheedakorede5749]

It's the release button for the tank cover

[@fabiolalima5743]

Tank you I fix my fuel cap ❤

[@maximo1up99]

My blinkers don't work! This popped up this morning I need help!

[@mcmc888]

Thanks for the video. What’s the reason behind the error message not going away right away after you wipe it down?

[@advanceother3813]

Great fucking video I just fix my gas cap by watching this video 👍👍👍👍👍

[@pm7805]

Good video. Is there any chance you get stuck on road if we ignore this message?

[@areyoutalkingtome6057]

no

[@KimmieAbbasServant]

How do I get the tether line off so I can replace it with a new one

[@arturoromero491]

Gonna try this thanks

[@nileforethiopia5324]

Thank you

[@letycontreras5155]

Gracias por este video... Me asuste y pensé que ya le tenia que cambiar el motor 🤣🤣

[@musicfashionstyle4251]

I already changed new fuel cap. But still fuel cap light not gone.

[@franciscogomez5332]

It works, thank you so much 😃

[@lennyd.9270]

Step #1. Tighten the fuel cap another 3 or 4 clicks. That usually solves the problem.

[@Milaarce12]

Thank you!!🙏🏼 it worked

[@tonyvee5799]

If it doesn't work it can be your evap purge solenoid

[@tobymofield6597]

Just take a rag and wet it with AT-205 on the seal of the cap. Don't oversoak it....Just get the seal good and wet. Make sure the car is OFF. Wipe the dirt off around the filler neck...PROBLEM SOLVED....NO MORE MESSAGE,NO NEW SEAL NO NEW CAP..........DONE It worked for me. Message NEVER came back on.....

[@live4real498]

Thank you light went away 5min later

[@rain7096]

👍

[@Djvids-k6b]

I bought a new cap and the message went right away.

[@anthonypolo4788]

U can tell u have a leak at the fuel cap just look at the back off the fuel door

[@deangelomckee9518]

Check the back of the fuel do for what in particular?

[@carmenfigueroa8410]

[@AXpaute]
