1

ÉTAPE 1

Inspect the filler

With the vehicle off, inspect the cap seal, tether and filler neck for obvious damage or debris.

Point de contrôleThere is no liquid fuel, severe neck damage or foreign material entering the tank.

2

ÉTAPE 2

Compare the replacement

Verify fit, seal design, pressure/vacuum specification and emissions compatibility.

Point de contrôleThe replacement is catalogued for the exact vehicle.

3

ÉTAPE 3

Install fully

Remove the damaged cap and tighten the replacement until its documented engagement is reached.

Point de contrôleThe cap seats evenly and cannot be removed without releasing it normally.

4

ÉTAPE 4

Allow monitor completion

Do not clear evidence unnecessarily. Drive normally until the EVAP monitor runs or have the system tested if the code returns.

Point de contrôleA returning code triggers leak-system diagnosis, not repeated cap replacement.
