Bernardi recommends the locking gas cap as a means of protecting the fuel in your Honda Element or Fit from being stolen or having contaminants added to it.
Check Engine Light
Honda's fuel system uses a sealed vacuum to prevent gas fumes from escaping into the atmosphere. If the system detects a leak, it will warn you of the problem by turning on the check engine light. In most cases this light is caused by a loose gas cap or a cap that does not fit tightly because it is not a certified Honda product. Using a certified Honda gas cap such as this one and fully tightening the gas cap will normally cause the check engine light to go out within a few days. Should the light remain on, bring your vehicle to your local Honda dealer as soon as possible because there may be a more serious problem.
NOTE: fits the 04-06 Element and the Fit.
This product was designed for the 2007-2008 Fit. However, we have done some testing and it will work on the 2009-2010 Fit models. The tether and tether clip will need to be removed from the fuel door to allow proper fitment. Since Honda has not tested and approved this, ordering for a 2009-2010 is at the sole risk of the customer.
