2000 Silverado 5.3 Check Engine Light
I am baffled on this one. I have a 2000 Silverado with 80K miles and the 5.3L. If I run a bottle of dry gas per gas tank or every other, my check engine light won't come on. If I don't run dry gas, then I get a check engine light that scans as an evaporator system issue. All I can think of is that gas is getting into the canistor, and with the dry gas, the alcohol helps the gas to evaporate out. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

These are famous for this. Actually, the normal thing that causes this light is a plugged purge pump filter. GM has a kit to fix it, costs about $300 CAD. It is not a major concern, but the light is annoying.
