Gates 31783 Fuel Tank Cap with Lock Review

Gas cap fits my 2010 Honda Fit well. There is no backlight on the dashboard yet. I had to learn how to hold the lid and turn the key. It only took a few tries to safely block it. And I had to keep my mouth shut.

My Element doesn't have a fuel cap so I've always been vulnerable to someone stealing my gas. I bought it from Revain based on recommendations from other e-owners. happy. perfect fit and NO CODES. so it's golden.

Overall a good product. Carrying the gas cap key with other keys on your keychain may initially cause problems opening/removing the cap. In my opinion it is best to carry the key alone or with multiple keys as the tank lock cylinder turns very easily.

I ordered knowing it was a risk as NONE of these mounting caps are actually sold with a listed compatibility. Fits perfectly in my Element 06 Honda. I used to have a Civic 05 with the same filler hole. Suitable for any Honda car/SUV in this age range. Maybe new ones will fit too. There is no check engine light. When I get it I will update.

Nervous about buying because of other reviews that it is difficult to remove. That's not my experience at all. It is easy to install and remove if you turn the key to the right position first. Fits perfectly on the 2006 Honda Odyssey EX-L. This is a good product and I will buy it for my second car as well.
