Gas Cap Warning Light

I have the second gas cap warning light coming on after I replaced the gas cap on my 2002 F-150 4WD. I cleared the computer as some have suggested. What could be the problem?

Check the rubber tube that connects the filler tube to the tank

You probably have a gross evaporative emissions leak. DTC P0455. On some newer models, the Check Gas Cap lamp will illuminate when this problem is detected by the PCM. Usually a cap that wasn't installed correctly after a fill up is the cause. If the gas cap didn't fix the problem then you need to have it diagnosed as you have another problem somewhere in the system. Best of luck!
