Hold on fellas...It's a good thing to have to chase down "indicated" faults
like an indicated gas cap vapor leak?  Where's the priority here?

When BP dumps billions of Kilos of carbon from a cheaped-out oil platform
for over a year?  When 4 coal trains a day...all with 100+ coal cars pass
through my  back yard heading to China?  When fracking all over the U S is
causing kitchen faucets to emit more pollutants than a compliant Vanagon?

I think the Regulators miss the point often... as I said earlier in this
thread.
