I didn't find P0451 but did find P0454. I have no idea what the difference is so don't make assumptions. This should at least give you an idea what's involved and as suggested might be good idea to just replace the gas cap first:

I would check that the gas cap is on correctly as this is the simplest thing to check. You can then clear the code with a scanner or wait a few start/run cycles for it and see if it clears. It will not clear right away even if it is fixed.
