The light is just an image, no words? I have no idea. Maybe there is a light for the radiator fan. I would think it might have to do with something of the cooling system thou.

It means 1 of 3 things:

1) Cracked intake
2) bad float sensor
3) low radiator fluid.

My money is on the bad float sensor. My car did the same thing. Just unplug the little plug at the bottom of the resivour tank, light go bye bye

That light came on maybe twice since I own my car.(few years now) The time it did come on was right when I would start my car. After about a minute it would go off. Makes sense thou because it looks like a 5 gallon gas can. Just remembered my car was parked on a serious incline when it did happen. I just though it was that coolant was not sitting level in the radiator or something like that. Is yours at least going off after a minute?

Dude that's got nothing to do with the gas. It's the freakin radiator, can't you see the little fan in the box?

that yellow box light with the fan inside is a coolant light, trust us. it means your coolant is low. has nothing to do with your gas cap. if it was your gas cap, you'd have a CEL light (or SES, same thing)

If it's a picture of fan in a little yellow box, it's your coolant light. Please refer to the three items I recomended checking.

It may be the radiator, but some 5 gallon gas jugs have an "X" across the side of them.

I think usually if it's a radiator it also has the thermometer (or temperature) symbol beside it.

Did you try what I suggested? That is the same exact indicator light that I had. It's the radiator/coolant MIL. But if your owners manual says fuel filler cap, than play with that.
