First, there is no specifc code for a fuel cap. There is an EVAP code that can indicate there is a leak in the system. As a result, the store keeps selling you gas caps because they don't know what else to tell you. I need to know what the actual code is they are getting.

If the light is on again, have them scan it and tell you the code number.

Let me know what you find.
