Silver Member Username: PapsYuma, AZ Post Number: 201 Registered: Mar-06 | i had my CE light come on and i checked to see what the code was, so i turned on and off the car 3 times and it gave me P0455 which means its something wrong with the EVAP system. I went to check if the gas cap was loose/leakin or something (since this seems to be the most common problem associated with a p455 codes) but it seemed fine. Then i read somewhere that an overfilled tank might be another cause for it too? my tank filled up to a bit over 4/8 from empty with $25 bucks and then today i put in $50 from a little less than half so im pretty sure its more than 8/8 (full). So could an overfilled tank be the cause of my P0455 code to turn on? Oh and if it makes anything difference, the light did turn on right after i finished filling up at the gas station. it was off before i got there. |

Silver Member Username: Usask8er1Appleton, Wisconsin USA Post Number: 239 Registered: Jun-05 | Do you use an OBD or OBD2 to tell the code or does your car do it automatic? Try letting it burn up some of the gas and see if its still goes on. Thats not a good warning to come on though, hopefully its just filled to much. What yeas/make/model is it? |

Silver Member Username: PapsYuma, AZ Post Number: 208 Registered: Mar-06 | its a 2001 Dodge Ram. nah i didnt use an OBD-II to find the code. Im not sure about other makes but i know that any vehicle from the chrysler corp. all you have to do to find a code is to turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, then on again (3rd time) and look at ur digital odometer, it should display any fault codes that are currently present. This is the only info I could find http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/generic/p0455-evaporative-emission-contro l-system-leak-detected-large.php |

Gold Member Username: James1115Ct Post Number: 5955 Registered: Dec-04 | my Ram shot out the same code to me last week and I filled up the tank to much, once it burned off the CE light shut off on it's own and have not had a problem since. |

If overfilling your gas tank will produce electronic code sensors to go off, then that would be too much of a head ache for me. Thank God I dont have a Dodge. Excuse me, but that just seems silly.  |

My x's brother has the same ram and he also says he always overfills it and he has never gotten a code. Now they both agreed that the vehicles are sh!t and expect your tranny to go, lol... Polo.  |
