If you can hear what sounds like a "quack" from a duck, this means the seal is working correctly. The gasket and the pressure relief valves are the only two components on the gas cap itself that will cause it to not "click" or tighten as it should.

Read More »Arguably one of the least thought about mechanical components on any car is the gas or fuel cap. Funny enough, we typically remove and reinstall this simple plastic (or metal on older vehicles) piece of equipment any time we add fuel to our vehicles. As we place it back onto the fuel tank, the cap is supposed to "click" – as an indicator to the driver that the cap is secure. But what happens when the cap doesn't go "click?" What are we supposed to do? How does it impact the operation of the vehicle? And, what can we do to troubleshoot why the gas cap doesn't "click"? In the information below, we'll answer all three questions and provide some resources that will help you determine why that small plastic piece isn't cooperating. Method 1 of 3: Understanding the warning signs or a damaged gas cap Before you can troubleshoot the cause of a problem, it's important to understand what task the component is designed to actually perform. According to most automotive experts, the fuel cell cap has two primary functions. First, to prevent fuel or vapors found inside the fuel cell from escaping through the fill neck and second, to maintain a constant pressure inside the fuel cell. This pressure is what allows fuel to flow to the fuel pump, and eventually to power your vehicle. When the gas cap is damaged, it loses its ability to maintain the seal on the fuel cell as well as reducing the amount of pressure inside the gas tank. On older vehicles, if this occurred, it was more of an inconvenience. However, as the modern day ECM was introduced and sensors found themselves monitoring virtually every component on the vehicle, a loose or broken gas cap can cause multiple issues that will negatively impact the operation and performance of your vehicle. In many cases, when the gas cap is damaged and won't "click" when it's placed back onto the fuel tank, it will cause a few warning signs to pop up. Some of the more common indicators of a bad gas cap may include the following: Inability to start the engine: In many worst case scenarios, when the gas cap does not maintain a seal or the correct pressure inside the tank, a sensor will trigger an alert to the vehicles ECM and literally shut down fuel flow to the engine. Without fuel, a motor can't operate. Rough idling engine: In some situations, the engine will run, but it will idle and accelerate extremely rough. This is typically caused by the inconsistent flow of fuel to the engine because of the reduced or fluctuating fuel pressure inside the gas tank. Will trigger the check engine or gas cap light along with several error codes: In most circumstances, the loose fitting gas cap, or if it doesn't "click" when installed, will trigger a few OBD-II error codes to be stored inside the vehicles ECM. When this happens, the most logical action is for the check engine or gas cap light to illuminate on the dashboard or instrument cluster. In many cases, the error codes that will be triggered by a loose fitting gas cap will include the following:

The pressure release valve is located inside the gas cap and unfortunately, can't be removed without breaking the cap. However, there is an easy test to determine if the release valve is damaged. Place your mouth over the center of the gas cap and suck or breathe into the gas cap. If you can hear what sounds like a "quack" from a duck, this means the seal is working correctly. The gasket and the pressure relief valves are the only two components on the gas cap itself that will cause it to not "click" or tighten as it should. If these two parts check out OK, move onto to the final method listed below.
