Fuel Cap Tightening

richieridge · #1 (**permalink**) 08-21-2007, 10:53 AM

My indicator keeps telling me the fuel cap needs to be tightened...So I keep tightening it but nothing happens.. The indicator light stays on, even after I turn the car on and off a few times. Can someone help??

Use the Search feature, ie "fuel cap"

Many posts on this subject.

Here is just one of many: Tighten Fuel Cap Warning Light Stays On

Warning will go away in a few days.

Always tighten fuel cap at least three to four CLICKS.

I'm OCD, ADD, ADHD, bi-polar, manic depressive, and schizophrenic. I have to know EXACTLY how many clicks. PLEASE just tell me to tighten it exactly 3.5 clicks!!!

As noted by a previous poster, just make sure the cap is on tight, and it the idicator light will go off in a couple of days.

Just a quick tip: I always give my gas cap a good spin after it's on tight, and it "clicks" at least 10 times when I give it a good spin. I have never had that loose gas cap indicator light come on.
