While it is technically possible to drive a vehicle without a petrol cap, it is not advisable. Driving without a cap can lead to fuel evaporation, decreased fuel efficiency, and contamination of the fuel system. Additionally, it may trigger warning lights on the dashboard and could potentially result in engine performance issues. It's best to replace a missing petrol cap as soon as possible.

Your question is confusing. Petrol will evaporate if that is what you are asking. Also running around without a fuel cap will cause the Check Engine light to come on and the emissions system to not work properly. You may also get debris in the fuel tank.
