    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!

    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.

    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❣️

    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.

    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

    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.

    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
      @espinoedin 3 роки тому

      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

      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.
