Fuel Tank Over Pressure CEL
I suffered with this issue for weeks. I hope nobody else has so suffer through it, so I'm sharing the solution.
I have my SRT6 back. It seems, I have had a gremlin "Fuel Tank Over Pressure" check engine light. Chrysler was replacing everything in the fuel system except the part that was broken. The part recommended for replacement was "Fuel Sensor". The only part listed as "Fuel Sensor" was the "Fuel Vapor Sensor."
Then, on about the somethingteenth time I brought it in, I asked if it could be the fuel tank thingey under the left amp in back:
There's a 3 inch diameter circle that plugs into the fuel tank, and has about 3 pairs of wires coming from it. I tore my trunk apart in the dealership parking lot, removing amps and panels, and showed the service manager what I was talking about. The dealer did not even know that part existed. As translated in the service documentation, the part was called the "Sending Unit". That's the "Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor" when properly translated. That is also what it says on the part itself. They immediately ordered the part and apologized profusely. Two weeks later, my car is still running well, and the notorious CEL has not come back on. I think the problem is solved.

Chrysler paid $151.45 to replace my expired can of TireFix. Not planning on useing it, but was the principle of the thing. Also states unequivocably that it will NOT harm the TPMS, so they are hoping I don't have to use it.
