I suppose that is possible, which may result in cracking the filter housing??

I'm guessing if you got a gas cap message that something you did isn't seated correctly. Would be too strange to have the gas cap die at the same time.

Yeah I went ahead and took it all back apart and reset the assembly o-ring plastic collar and metal collar. I'll report back after a few test runs
