Default Re: Blinking fuel light & P0455 code

I guess changing the gas cap is my next step. I found this on amazon ( Amazon.com: Stant 10843 Fuel Cap: Automotive ) Does anyone knows if I got the correct one? Thanks.

Same thing happened on me. First the blinking light once a few weeks, then once a few days, then the P0455 code. Now both blinking light and P0455(after I reset) came on everyday.

Where are the vacuum lines located? or do I just inspect all the black rubber hose under the hood?

Over filling it can cause fuel to get in the evaporative emissions system. I found this out when I first bought my car. If I squeezed in a little more after the pump first stopped. The light would come on after it got to about a 1/2 tank. It hasn't blinked sense I stopped trying to squeeze a little more in.
No, I stop at the clicks, although I might have did it a long time ago.
