2001 Dodge Caravan - private mechanic replaced fuel filter, had to drop gas tank to do so as that is only access. This resulted in total disconnect from fuel neck filler line, etc. After replacement and reinstall of gas tank, engine light comes on. Mechanic tried to fix, replaced gas cap. Cannot get light to go off. Will have to drop gas tank again in future for repair. No other codes coming up for engine light. Reason: Compression leak in fuel line, system.
Got check engine light, told we had bad gas cap, replaced and reset code, check engine light came on again, took to repair shop, found cracked filler neck tube, filler neck tube unavailable from mfg.
