check to see if your gas cap is loose?

 

I have this exact same problem as of today in my 1999 ML 320.....is this a bad problem or another one of these minor annoynces this car tends to have?

today the CEL came on, then after driving for awhile the low fuel thing started flashing(i had a half tank in)

I did get cheap and put the 87 grade in for a half tank last week, not sure if that could have anything to do with it?

 

if its not the gas cap, and its the hose....How hard is that to replace, can it be done by yourself?
