As the title says, the gas tank warning light stays lit, even when I have plenty of gas. Also noticed a hissing sound (pressure being relieved?) when I removed the fuel cap once, but havent noticed it again. The light will also sometimes be off. Anyone know what it means? Does the light mean something else is wrong with my car? Car specifics are in my sig..any help greatly appreciated
