Fuel Cap

[PAULSPEED]

I fill up the car, tighten the cap and drive. After about 30 miles, I will get

a engine light issue. I then tighten the cap again and drive for about three

days untill the light goes off.

Should I just replace the fuel cap or should I look somewher else?

the car is a 2007 997S.

There is a gasket on the fuel cap - 191.201.557 -- US MSRP $8.89

[PAULSPEED]

Thanks Loren,

I will look for it.

The gasket is there. Maybe I will flip it.

Could depend upon what your CEL is for. I found that when I went to certain gas stations it would trigger the catalyst CEL. I assumed poor gas quality. I switch to a different station and it doesn't happen. CEL may not come on until halfway through the tank. It is consistent with a local, small town gas station.

Also, make sure you are turning the cap at least 3 clicks.

[PAULSPEED]

That is funny you said different stations. I will be

more careful where I fuel up. I always give the

cap three clicks. I tried giving it more one time

to see if that made a difference.

So I flipped the gasket. It had cracks on the

fringe. Looks like time for a new one.

I guess 3 years and 67,000 miles is enough

to beat the stuff out of the gasket.

I will order a new one tomorrow.

Most on highway 92.

I have a reverse comute over the San Mateo bridge.
