How to Open the Fuel Tank Cap?
2 Answers
In-car switch is currently the most common way to open the car fuel tank door. Push-button opening method: The push-button opening of the fuel tank door is currently the most convenient method. The owner only needs to park the car, and the fuel attendant can directly press to open it for refueling. However, when not parked for refueling, remember to always engage the central locking system; otherwise, the fuel tank cap can be opened. Mechanical key opening method: This type of car fuel tank cap switch is relatively rare, usually found on some rugged off-road vehicles. Nowadays, general family cars do not use mechanical keys for opening because it is relatively more complicated to use.
I remember when I first started learning to drive, I panicked when I couldn't open the fuel tank cap. Actually, the method is quite simple: first, park the car in a safe place and turn off the engine to ensure safety. Most cars have a small lever under the driver's seat; just give it a gentle pull, and the fuel tank cap will pop open automatically. If there's no lever, check if there's a button on the key? Press it while gently pushing the edge of the cap, and it will open with a 'click' sound. In winter, it's prone to freezing, so you can gently warm it with your palm or blow some warm air to thaw it. Before refueling, check if the car doors are unlocked; if they're locked, the cap won't open. After opening, slowly unscrew the inner cap to add gasoline, and don't rush to avoid spills. After refueling, make sure to tighten the cap to prevent oil leaks and environmental pollution. Regularly clean dust from the cap opening to prevent rusting. This is a basic skill, and you'll get the hang of it after a few tries, saving yourself a lot of trouble.
