check engine light.
i have a check engine light on my 350. it says something like evaportive system emission leak. it only comes on when i fill up my gas tank. when my gas is almost empty below the second to last line it goes away. i thought it might be my gas cap and replaced it, still having the same issue. any ideas?

0442 covers a lot of possible problems....
Incorrect fuel tank vacuum relief valve
Incorrect fuel filler cap used
Fuel filler cap remains open or fails to close.
Foreign matter caught in fuel filler cap.
Leak is in line between intake manifold and
EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid
valve.
Foreign matter caught in EVAP canister vent
control valve.
EVAP canister or fuel tank leaks
EVAP purge line (pipe and rubber tube) leaks
EVAP purge line rubber tube bent
Loose or disconnected rubber tube
EVAP canister vent control valve and the circuit
EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid
valve and the circuit
Fuel tank temperature sensor
O-ring of EVAP canister vent control valve is
missing or damaged
EVAP canister is saturated with water
EVAP control system pressure sensor
Fuel level sensor and the circuit
Refueling EVAP vapor cut valve
ORVR system leaks
It all deals with the system that connects the vapor recovery between the gas tank and the intake plenum. The main parts are under the back of the car next to the tank (hidden behind the muffler) and the purge solenoid on the back passenger side corner of the plenum. I'd recommend getting a copy of the FSM and look at the EC section for your P0442 code. It has all the diagrams and locations of the pieces & parts that you'll need to look at.
See the sticky at the top of the forum for FSM info.

Just get the code cleared, be careful to keep your gas cap tight and make sure you are not running your engine when the cap is off and not topping off the tank too much. The code most likely won't return, if it does, it's time to have your evap system leak tested.
