P0141 Engine Code Associated With Empty Tank

Hello everyone,
I have a very persistent issue with cell code P0141, and wonder if anyone else has ever had similar problem and fixes for it. Here it goes.


I've got JCW air box and muffler on my 08 MCS for quite some time; also replaced both O2 sensors less than a year ago. I recently got very persistent popups of P0141 cell code associated with near empty gas tank (starting at about 4 ticks on the scale). It would go away after about 15 miles of driving on a full tank. My guess is that it probably has something to do with fuel vapor pressure inside the tank. Any suggestion where to start without huge spending is certainly appreciative.


Thank you,
Jeff

New gas cap would be my first thing.
