NEVER overfill your gas tank. When filling up and the gas hose clicks off at the pump DO NOT fill to max. Also Make sure the gas cap is tight after filling so as not to create a vaccum. Common sense fixes this problem.

I had to have the gas cap replaced because the light kept coming on and once the cap was changed no more problems.
