2000 XK8 Gas Cap problem - 5/29/2005 4:42:05 AM

Has anyone ever heard of a check engine light coming on because there is something wrong with the gas cap?

I've had my check engine light diagnosed with this fault. Replacement cap is en route, but what could actually go wrong with a gas cap?

Well the gas cap can be loosing pressure which would cause the gas tank to loose pressure. This would trigger a sensor. Its intended to tell you if you have a crack in the gas tank, but they proabably looked at that and noticed nothing wrong and said it was the gas cap. Thats my guess,
