A trouble light just lit up on the lower right hand side of my dashboard display. It's lighting up in yellow and looks like it's indicating something wrong with the gas tank. What is it? Is it serious? What needs to be done? I'm female, on my own, don't know anything about car repairs. Appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks.

possible fuel cap !

check gas cap and make sure its on correct and tight
and if so that should be OK and fine to drive
as long as you dont have low oil or check engine light flashing you should be able to drive the car with no problem
if you can take a picture to be sure
