Default Any difference in Gas Caps?

Is there any difference to the gas caps for a 2000 Integra compared to a 2000 Civic? Or all they all exactly the same?

Are you looking for a gas cap that is attached to the car, not removable? I want one, I hate how my EJ8 has a gas cap I got to hold on to when my car is filling up, and I could possibly lose it or forget it.

A non removable one would be nice but the ones that came with my car are removable.

But I only ask this question because I think my Civic needs a new gas cap because it throws some codes sometimes and I'm currently ordering some parts for the Integra; so it'd be easier just to order a Integra gas cap for the Civic, if its compatible.

The O-ring is what usually fails. You could just buy a real cheap generic cap and swap the O-ring over to your current cap. I've also had success just flipping the ring over. One side flattens out over time and can leak. Short term fix though, but good enough to pass emissions testing. Haven't had one bad enough to trigger a code yet though.

^^^ yeah what he said. I lost my cap at a station that was prepay and there was no signs around telling you to pay before you pump. I didn't have a card at the time and paid everything with cash so I went inside to pay and they asked me if I knew how much it would hold and I was going to fill it up so I had no idea so I had to go back in afterwards to get my change and somewhere during all that I left mine behind. Needless to say I drove around an hour total between that night and the next day till I went to the dealer and got a band new cap and the cel never once lit up.
