Default Tighten Fuel Filler Cap

A few times while I have stopped at a drive through, or a red light I've had the "Tighten Fuel Filler Cap" message come up. So I tried the obvious, and tightened it up. It still came up. So I then wound up trading out fuel caps with the one on my wrecked parts car, just in case it was a bad cap or something.

I'm still getting the message. Was wondering where the next logical place would be to look on the car to correct this problem.

Default RE: Tighten Fuel Filler Cap

next logical step would be to find out why the tank isn't holding pressure. It still could be the cap even though you tried a different one. Get ONLY new OEM fuel caps because aftermarket caps tend to yield themselves to this problem.

Where should I start checking on this car to see why it isn't holdring pressure? Any hoses in particular that come off the tank that have a history of being problemsome on these cars?

I'll monkey around with it a little before I get another new cap, hate to spend money on anything when I may not need to.
