Pros of Capless Gas Tanks

What is Honda gas cap issue?
A loose gas cap will not only let fuel vapors escape, but it can also let in grime and dirt. These fuel vapors could cause an error in the emissions system, which would cause the check engine light to turn on. Grime that seeps into the fuel tank can also damage fuel injectors over time.
