Can a Faulty Fuel Cap Lead to EVAP System Issues in the Toyota Camry?

The Evaporative Emission Control System EVAP in a Camry relies on a sealed fuel system to function properly. A damaged o r missing fuel cap can cause pressure leaks, leading to failed emissions tests, fuel vapor leaks, and potential engine performance issues. Have Pakistani Camry owners encountered costly repairs due to an unresolved fuel cap issue affecting the EVAP system?

A loose fuel cap can sometimes be fixed temporarily by cleaning the rubber seal, ensuring it is properly tightened, o r applying a silicone lubricant to restore its sealing properties. However, if the cap is cracked o r cannot maintain a secure seal, replacement is necessary. Some Camry owners in Pakistan have managed to fix minor fuel cap issues using these methods, but such solutions are often temporary, and replacement remains the best long-term fix.
