"Gas Cap" code (P0442)
#11
VWandDodge -- Can I rap on the side of the charcoal canister to see if it's full of fuel? I agree, I was always under the impression they were pretty much sealed units, so if it was bad you had no option but to replace. I don't even want to speculate on the price from Chrysler.

Best way to check the canister is to remove it and either take a whiff or see if any leftover gas spills out (which is doubtful). With access to a plastic welder, the charcoal and filters can be replaced. Be sure to use bone and NOT wood charcoal.
