If you've got a warranty on the truck, they are on the hook. I believe that fuel cap is a federal emissions thing, so they can't dodge the fact that it is 'critical' (am I wrong on that?). You may have to threaten taking them to small claims court for the cost of getting it repaired somewhere else..... maybe THAT will motivate them.
This is not a "can't be fixed" issue, and it's not a superficial thing like cosmetics. They need to make it right.... try calling your state's consumer affairs office to see what they have to say about the dealer failing to repair a mandated federal emissions failure. What kind of warranty do you have anyway? The dealer shouldn't be concerned unless he's the underwriter.
Lastly, don't the emissions elements of our warranty have some ridiculously long coverage period??? (Speed?.... I think you know this one?)

So OP, how many miles do you have on her?

So S2005,
It sounds like you are out of luck with the original new car emissions warranty. But you never said what kind of warranty you got when you bought it.
Regardless, if you look under the list Speedlever posted, you'll see the list of components that could potentially be the source of this failure under "Evaporative & Refueling Emissions Control Systems". Personally, I would first suspect the lines/hoses or the emissions valves. Note also the components that are part of the fuel tank, including vapor control valve.
It wouldn't hurt to get a separate quote for lines & valves, just to know what you're looking at.
Alternately (back to the "get them to pay" topic), you COULD try to get the truck over there when you know it's going to be a cold night &m l leave it for them to check the following morning. Depending on how intermittent it is, you may get them to detect the fault with their test.
One more thing that bothers me is that the temporary codes that are stored indicates that there is a problem, and even if they WERE able to detect with their Evap test, I am certain it will not tell them which hose is leaking.... they are going to have to do that by trial & error anyway I suspect???
Bottom line, if they continue to refuse to address, you're probably stuck, depending again on what kind of warranty you got. The simple fact that you should have recurring incidents of temporary codes being thrown for this (take it in each time to document... those temp codes will clear as soon as the leak is gone again), should make your case that this is a real problem, intermittent or not. Good luck with this..... it would be better if the problem were worse .... at least then you'd get a failed Evap test.
I think I'd get the hoses swapped out if it is not too expensive.

We bought it used "As Is/No Warranty"

It has a lifetime Powertrain, but that's it.

We dropped it off with them again, and the dealer said that because it isn't covered under warranty, and is an As Is used vehicle, that I'd have to pay like $500 for them to replace a few things that they think "might" fix it.

I live in Alabama, and don't know much about "Lemon Laws"

Are my hands tied?

Do what Csimo said.

I looked up my state's lemon law:



Does that mean it has to fit all those criteria? It has been in 3 times for this same issue, but it's a 2011, so obviously not 2 years old or less.

Also, how does one go about "Ask for a Honda rep to contact you and discuss the situation." Do I email corporate Honda of America?

Just tell the dealer you want to speak to the Honda rep.... they are obligated to put you in touch. They should either give you a phone number or a time to come back for an appointment with him/her.

Joe??? Is there another way??
