How to Open the Fuel Door of a Buick Car?
2 Answers
The method to open the fuel door of a Buick car is: 1. The Buick fuel door consists of an inner cover and an outer cover. Locate the electronic control buttons and cable-operated levers on both sides of the driver's seat, which feature a fuel pump icon. Simply press or pull to open the outer fuel door cover. 2. The inner cover can only be accessed after opening the outer cover. The inner cover is made of rubber material; turning it to the right tightens it, while turning it to the left opens it. Taking the 2021 Buick GL8 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5238mm, width 1878mm, height 1776mm, with a wheelbase of 3088mm and a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters. The 2021 Buick GL8 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 237 PS, a maximum torque of 350 Nm, and a maximum power of 174 kW, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
Oh, about opening the fuel filler cap on a Buick, as an owner who has driven a Buick for several years, I find the method quite simple. First, look around the driver's seat, either on the inner side of the door or near the dashboard, where there's usually a small button or lever marked with a fuel tank symbol. Press or pull it once. You'll hear a clicking sound indicating the fuel cap is unlocked. Then, step out to the fuel tank location, either on the side or rear of the car, and gently press the center or edge of the cap—it will pop open automatically. If it gets stuck, don't force it; try pressing the interior button a few more times or ensure the car is unlocked. Remember to keep the button clean during regular checks to prevent dust from getting inside. After refueling, simply close the cap gently. The button location may vary slightly across different Buick models—for example, on the LaCrosse I drive, it's right next to the door handle, very straightforward. If you encounter issues, check the user manual or try restarting the car key.
