Default Loose gas cap

My gas cap keeps loosening itself whether I click it 3 times or more than that. I would fill up my tank and go a few days and then my CEL would come on. It's code 90 which is for something about a leak in the rear fuel system. Everytime this happens, my gas cap opens up really easily. Would a new gas cap be the solution to my problem?

Probably. Are you sure you're tightening it all the way? Most people don't know you're supposed to turn it till it clicks 3 times

Yes, this has happened more than once. I always make sure the gas cap clicks 3 times or more. Maybe clicking it too much might be the thing.

Next time you pull up next to another Honda at the gas station, ask to borrow their gas cap for a second. lol. Or drive your car to the junkyard and test it there.
