Determining whether or not your vehicle is a California emissions or a federal emissions vehicle is pretty straightforward. To do this, you'll want to locate your catalyst sticker under the hood of your vehicle. It'll either be actually on the bottom side of the hood, most GM vehicles have it on the air box, and other vehicles may have it along your radiator support at the front of the engine bay.
All you need to do is see, "This vehicle conforms to California regulations." That means that this vehicle is a California emissions car. Just because you're not in California or are in California doesn't necessarily mean your vehicle will be one way or the other.
Now, our F150 has it down here on the radiator's support, right at the front of the engine bay and you can see here, "This vehicle conforms to US EPA regulations." This means that this vehicle is a federal emissions.
Now, here we have two things that are a little different. Our catalyst is located on the vehicle's air box and this vehicle conforms to US EPA regulations and California regulations. If it conforms to both federal and California emissions, it's considered a California emissions vehicle.
Thanks for watching. Visit us at 1AAuto.com for quality auto parts, fast and free shipping, and the best customer service in the industry.

In this video, we go over, basically, gas cap removal and replacement . that's pretty easy . and also some of the basic functions of the gas cap.
Gas cap replacement: no big secret here. You take it off and you put the new one on, but more what I want to talk about is, why would you want to replace your gas cap. Your gas cap actually regulates the pressure in your system. I'm going to remove this bolt. A lot of the gas caps are held in by a strap here, 10mm bolt on this car. Simply remove the bolt. We'll reinstall this bolt.
Maybe you've gone to the gas station and forgotten to put your cap back on. The check engine light will go on, because your fuel system monitors the pressure in the fuel tank, and your gas cap is actually the valve that keeps that pressure. This is a brand new cap, never had gas on it or anything. What I'm going to do is suck on it a little bit. You hear that little duck call? That's the valve inside. There's rubber and metal springs and stuff inside that as the fuel pump draws fuel out of the tank, it builds up a certain amount of vacuum and then allows air into the system. What will happen, is it'll go bad and your gas cap can actually cause the check engine light to go on. So, a new cap from 1A Auto, goes right on, and tightens up. Let's just make sure we tighten that bolt back up a bit, that had the strap on it. Hopefully if your gas cap has gone bad and is causing your check engine light to come on, that'll fix your problem. We hope this helps you out.
