I have a problem with my car. When I have about a 1/4 of a tank of gas or less the check engine lite comes on. Shortly after I re-fuel the lite will shut off (next day). Fuel cap is on tight.

Engine codes:
P0130 O2 sensor, bank 1
P0172 Fuel Trim, bank 2

Any Ideas??

CL600 FLASHING FUEL LITE/CEL 54k mi
Hi I am having the same type of trouble if you will with me car. My Check Engine Lite was on as well when I pulled the codes I got(5x) P0455 emission leak(large) but I dont smell gas or do I experience any drivability problems or poor gas milage. My resarche would suggest a failing fuel tank pressure sensor as the gas can is on pretty tight . So Im making an appointment to have it looked at maybe this weekend to have all of the sensors checked. Ill keep you guys posted.
