Gas Cap Testing and Replacement Program

The City of Toledo and TMACOG began the 2016 gas cap testing and replacement program today, June 7 at the True North/Shell station at 822 Monroe St. in downtown Toledo.
Thank you Kelsey from WTOL, covering gas cap testing  on her
second day on the job!

TMACOG Vice President of Transportation David Gedeon (red shirt) was on hand to explain how leaky gas caps contribute to ozone pollution and to offer free replacement caps for any leaky or missing cap that the staff finds. City of Toledo intern Brendon Cousino does the vacuum test. This 2005 vehicle passed. 




Testing only takes a minute or two and replacement caps are free.  Motorists coming in to test their vehicle will receive ozone action sunglasses while supplies last.

The program will continue through early August at locations in Lucas and Wood counties and southern Monroe County. The June dates are listed below and the complete schedule can be found on the TMACOG website: http://www.tmacog.org/gascap_body.htm
