The original gas cap rolled away one day when I was fueling up, I bought a pretty expensive replacement from the store with the piece that attaches to the door so I wouldn't lose it again. Shortly after, I had an error code light up my dash saying *gas cap*. So, I buy a different gas cap. That didn't work... bought another. All of them felt loose when trying to screw them on, but I was told they are a fit for my Jeep.
In total, before purchasing this one here on Amazon, I had gone through 5 gas caps and spent way too much money... way way too much. I was told that I wouldn't ever find a cap that fits correctly due to the rusting issue that's happening... and that's a HIGHLY expensive thing to fix right now.
So, I looked on here and found this one that looks exactly like the original that came with my Jeep. For only a few dollars! Really...I honestly didn't have high hopes that it would fit correctly, but for the price I just couldn't pass it up.
This cap fits PERFECTLY. Not loose, I can hear and feel it click tightly. My gas cap error code went away about a week later... it's been a few months since I put it on and I can see a significant improvement in gas mileage.
I never imagined how joyfully excited I would get over a gas cap that costs a few bucks... I've bought a million things off of Amazon throughout the years, and this little cap is in my top 5 favorite, most useful purchases ever.
If you would like to read how I fixed the problem, read on. This started with small leak code P0442, but I couldn't find anything with a smoke test, so I followed other internet advice and started looking at the purge control solenoid and the leak detection pump. I disassembled and cleaned them, and thought I reassembled them correctly, but then I started getting codes P0441, P0455, and P1494. Figuring my old parts were now malfunctioning, I bought replacement parts, but still had codes. I performed smoke tests before and didn't find anything, but then saw smoke at the leak detection pump filter. This is normal, since the port to this filter is open when the car is off, and presents the largest "leak" when smoke testing. In order to seal the system, this port must be plugged. I disconnected the large hose going to the leak detection pump (not the one going to the filter) and shoved in a screwdriver with a handle that plugged the hose. Now when performing the smoke test, the system was sealed and smoke was quickly seen when the gas cap was removed, and when pulling other hoses to check. With all of the hoses connected and the gas cap tight, smoke came from the top of the gas tank at a molding seam near a hose connection toward the front of the car. I dropped the tank and applied Seal-All to the hole, which fixed the problem, turned off the codes, and allowed the car to pass inspection. The smoke test was not helpful until I plugged the large hose to the leak detection pump. Of course, once the diagnostic work is complete, unplug and reattach all of the hoses as they should be for normal operation. This is the smoke tester I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HY3RNFS
