Walter,

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to XK8/XKR forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

Graham

It can be the gas cap. Did the emissions facility use a gas cap tester and damage
the gasket in doing so?

The other culprit is the hose connection at the canister. Dont' know where it is
on your car.

their tests may have made a old part finally fail??? Just funny that this happens soon after a test as these. I bet an old part somewhere along the line has pooped out. My money is on one of the valves.
