Fuel Cap Video

A fuel cap, also known as a gas cap, helps seal your fuel system and protect it from contamination. It prevents fuel vapors from escaping and helps keep dirt and debris out of the fuel tank.

If the fuel cap is loose, damaged, or missing, it can affect fuel efficiency and may allow contaminants into the system. In some cases, a loose or faulty fuel cap can also trigger a check engine light.

If your check engine light is on or you suspect an issue with your fuel cap, the team at Maxcare Auto Shield Repair in Chicago, IL can help. We may begin with an inspection as part of our auto diagnostics service and evaluate related components within the emissions system.

Because these symptoms can have more than one cause, proper testing is important.

If your fuel cap or emissions system needs to be inspected, call 773-598-8802 today.
