if that is correct about the computerized system not reflecting current law, that is pretty bad...
as to the cap visual inspection:
from 1.4.5:
"Visual inspection: As prompted by the EIS, inspect the fuel cap(s) for proper fit and installation. The inspection result entries are “P” for Pass, “F” for Fail and “S” for Missing. If the fuel cap threads are stripped or the fuel cap seal is missing or damaged, or the fuel cap is not designed for the vehicle, the fuel cap shall fail the visual inspection."
it seems that for older vehicles at least they have to check for the seal being damaged, no? If so, then conceivably you could have a cap holding pressure and still being failed. I imagine you would be dependent on the good will or not of the tech since that is a very subjective criterion.
