Fuel Filler Cap Replacement & Labor Costs

What is a Fuel Filler Cap?

The Fuel Filler Cap is an essential component of your vehicle's fuel system. It seals the gas tank to prevent the evaporation of fuel vapors and helps maintain pressure inside the tank. If the fuel filler cap is faulty or damaged, it can trigger the "Check Engine" light, cause fuel leaks, and lead to poor fuel efficiency.

Quality and Brand Differences

When replacing a fuel filler cap, the quality and brand of the replacement part can affect your vehicle’s performance and fuel efficiency. Here’s a comparison:

• OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Fuel Filler Caps: OEM caps are manufactured by the same company that made the original part for your vehicle. They are a direct replacement and provide a perfect fit for your model, ensuring the best performance but at a higher price.
