How to Open the Fuel Tank Cap of a Maserati?
2 Answers
Maserati fuel tank cap opening method is: 1. Open the driver's door and pull the fuel tank cap switch located on the left side of the driver's compartment; 2. Lift the fuel tank cap outward. Taking the 2020 Maserati MC20 as an example, it belongs to the sports car category with body dimensions of: length 4669mm, width 2178mm, height 1224mm, wheelbase 2700mm, fuel tank capacity 60L, and curb weight 1500kg. The 2020 Maserati MC20 features double-wishbone independent suspension at both front and rear, equipped with a 3.0L twin-turbocharged engine delivering maximum horsepower of 630PS, maximum power of 463kW, maximum torque of 730Nm, paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Opening the Maserati fuel tank cap is actually quite intuitive. Having driven similar models, I find the design very user-friendly. The standard procedure is to first park the car, ensure the vehicle is unlocked and the engine is off—safety first. Then locate the fuel cap button, usually found on the driver's side or near the steering wheel. Press the button with the fuel icon to unlock it with one click. After hearing a click sound, simply go to the fuel tank location and gently press the cap—it will pop open. After refueling, press the cap again to close it, and it will automatically lock. This process prevents accidental openings. I always do this when driving the Quattroporte. However, if you can't find the button, try pressing the cap itself—some models respond directly to this. The key is to make sure the car is unlocked; otherwise, you may need to check the key or central lock, but it's usually not a big issue. Maserati's design saves time and ensures safety. A reminder: when refueling, hang the cap on the side to avoid damaging it—uneven road surfaces might scratch it. My advice is to regularly maintain and inspect related components, keeping them clean to prevent jamming. In short, it only takes a few minutes to complete, so you can do it with confidence.
