just got my 2013 fit base recently and disappointed about the non-locking gas cap. thinking of getting a locking gas cap instead. any recommendations as far as brands and where to buy those? does honda sell locking gas caps for the fit? thanks

 

I believe the Honda Element locking gas cap should work. I have one on my GD and effectively its the same gas cap design (upon visual inspection, looking at the threads) as the one on the GE.

Honda Locking Gas Filler Cap (Element, Fit) - Bernardi Honda Parts and Accessories

 

I just got one from amazon for less than $10.

 

thanks. did it ever give you the check engine light signal when you replaced the gas cap? how did you remove tether and tether clip? (sorry i am not that technical)

 

cool. do you happen to know the brand?

The tether is held on by a clip. Just push the clip in with a small flat head and slide it out.

 

I put the one on from Benardi, the clip will come off if you push it in and slide it. The locking one went on OK, once I figured how to keep it locked; the key had to be turned to the right position or when the cap was screwed in, it wouldn't lock. Otherwise, no problems.
