I'll ask my son if he remembers exactly what was tested - all he told me was
that he needed a new cap, which we bought, and then tested fine.  This was
late January 2008 at a Test-Only station.

My only other van now is a Syncro which has a different cap; I don't think I
test it this year as we did so last year.
