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.

Thanks again for your “pre-trip research.” I’m happy to say the 2007-08 Fit’s locking cap is working perfectly on the 2009. I installed it after I got the car home Saturday morning. (The original cap and tether are stashed in the spare tire well just in case.) The car has now covered about 350 miles and there hasn’t been a Check Engine or Loose Cap warning light. No fuel odors, no sloshing or leakage, the filler door closes and nobody’s going to be siphoning off this guy. So, if any 2009 buyers want to know if the older model cap will work, I’d say it’s a go.

I love my Fit, but I wish it had an interior fuel door release. Fortunately, this locking gas cap is the next best thing. Works great, no problems at all, so far.

I wanted a locking gas cap for my 208 Fit. The one I had fell and broke. It was another company's but I could no longer find it. Other gas caps made my check engine light come on. This gas cap fixed this problem, so I'm getting an extra one.

I used it on my 2010 Element and so far so good. My chief complaint is that you have to sacrifice the tether to use the locking cap. The nut that attaches the tether is REALLY hard to get to, too. I finally took a small box wrench and pressed the tines inward, because the needlenose pliers just weren't doing it.
