When the car is locked, the fuel tank cap cannot be opened. If the locking mechanism of the fuel tank cap is damaged, it may cause the fuel tank cap to fail to lock. Deformation of the fuel tank cap can also lead to it not locking properly, necessitating the replacement of a new fuel tank cap. The working principle of a car's fuel tank cap is as follows: after the car doors are locked, there is a motor inside the fuel tank cap that continuously rotates, preventing the cap from being opened. Once the car is unlocked, the motor returns to its original position, allowing the fuel tank cap to be pressed open. To open the fuel tank cap, the car's central locking system must be unlocked; otherwise, the fuel tank cap on the car body will remain unopenable.
