The generic definition is "Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (gross leak)". Any idea on what this might cost to fix? Or where the leak may be coming from?

Her dad had filled her tank last, and I guess he lacks the mechanical aptitude to properly close a gas tank! Thanks for the suggestion. -Chuck Dienzo Black 98.5 E1 SVT #5022 of 6535 Born on March 16, 1998 "If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down?
