The “check fuel fill inlet” warning light means that there is a problem with the fuel tank fill seal. The seal could be missing, loose, damaged, distorted, or there is debris in the fuel fill inlet, and/or there is a leak in the fuel system, primarily the EVAP portion. Checking the seal and resolving any found issues will usually resolve this problem. If, however, an inspection does not reveal any obvious fault and you desire that this problem be resolved by a certified Mechanic, dispatched by YourMechanic right to your location, please request a fuel cap/EVAP diagnostic and the responding certified mechanic will get this taken care of for you. If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to re-contact YourMechanic as we are always here to help you.
