try replacing the gas cap, have the code removed. this may have comeon after you got gas. the cap has to tighten 3 clicks at least inorder to seal properly. otherwis it's a big leak in the evap system.

Thanks I actually already fixed it and the light is off. The little gasket thing around the cap wasn't on right so I just put it back in place
