Default uh oh

mine did this after fuel sensor replacement. When they tried again, it leaked so bad it dumpe a gallon or so of gas on the ground.

3rd time repair was the charm... there are cover plates so you might not see a small leak.

Not your gas cap right?

Default I had this prob..

About 2 weeks ago. The check engine light came on, so I took it in and they told me that a sealer near the gas cap became loose. They fixed it fairly quickly and assured me it was no big deal. Everthing is good now.
