How to Open the Car Fuel Filler Cap?
1 Answers
The outer cover of the car fuel filler cap opens and closes synchronously with the driver's door (some fuel cap switches are located above the driver's left foot or near the left heel). The spiral cap of the fuel tank is tightened clockwise and loosened counterclockwise. Below are three methods to open the fuel filler cap: 1. Mechanical Key Opening: The method of using a key to open the fuel tank door for refueling is quite old and relatively complex to use, so it is rarely seen in household cars nowadays. In the past, this method was commonly found in models like the old Xiali and Songhuajiang minivans, but some vehicles such as the Wrangler, GL8, and Santana still use it. 2. In-Car Switch Opening: The in-car switch is currently the most common method to open the fuel tank door, being more convenient compared to the key method. However, this method also has a drawback: some careless drivers might forget to turn off the engine before refueling, which is very dangerous. Always remember to turn off the engine first before refueling. 3. Push-Button Opening: The push-button method to open the fuel tank door is currently the most convenient. The owner only needs to park the car, and the fuel attendant can directly refuel. The push-button fuel tank door is linked to the vehicle's central locking system. Note that the fuel tank door cannot be opened when the vehicle is locked; it can only be opened normally after unlocking.
