Installing new fuel filter cause check engine light to come on?
Maybe it's a coincidence but service engine soon light came on after putting about 25-30 miles after I replaced my fuel filter. Any ideas?

the only thing I can think of---its probly an evap leak--if you replaced the fuel filter--then you should have replaced the o-ring for the sending unit---or you didn't put the cover on right.

I replaced the o ring and I put the cover on right. I'll check again tomorrow.
