The best solution depends on the severity of the damage:

For a Loose Fuel Cap:
Ensure it clicks into place when tightening.
Clean the rubber gasket with a damp cloth to improve the seal.
If it remains loose, replacing it is the best option.

For a Cracked Fuel Cap:
If the plastic is cracked, replacement is necessary.
Use an OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer Toyota fuel cap for the best fit.
Aftermarket caps are an option, but ensure they are high-quality and compatible.

A new fuel cap typically costs between $15 and $50, making it a simple and affordable fix.
