How to Open the Fuel Tank Cap of Changan Onuo
2 Answers
There is a fuel tank switch lever located below the left side of the driver's seat in the Changan Onuo. Pull it upwards to open the fuel tank cap. Below are detailed instructions about the car fuel tank cap: 1. First, understand the structure of the car fuel tank cap. Modern cars usually allow remote control of the trunk and fuel tank cap from inside the cabin, providing great convenience to the owner. 2. Generally, the trunk is separated from the cabin by the rear seats. Therefore, by removing the rear seats, you can access the trunk from the cabin. Once inside the trunk, you can open the lock by prying or turning the movable parts on the lock with a screwdriver. 3. If the fuel tank cap cannot be opened, you can start from the trunk. First, remove the inner panel covering the fuel tank in the trunk. The panel is usually secured by plastic clips and can be easily pried open with a screwdriver. After removing the inner panel, you will see the locking mechanism of the fuel tank cap and the cable for remote operation. Simply pull the cable to open the fuel tank cap.
Last time I refueled my Changan Honor with gasoline, I also encountered the issue of not being able to open the fuel tank cap. At first, I thought it was complicated, but it turned out to be super simple: just stand at the rear of the car, locate the fuel tank cap, and press it gently—it should pop open. If it doesn’t open on the first try, don’t panic; apply a bit more force but avoid being too rough to prevent damaging the cap. As a new car owner, I was quite nervous the first few times, always afraid of breaking something. Later, I checked the manual, which reminded me that operating with the engine off is safer. Also, remember to choose the correct gasoline—92 or 95 octane—to avoid engine problems, which could be costly. Make it a habit to regularly check if the cap is tightly closed to prevent water or fuel leaks, which could harm your car. Once I developed this habit, refueling became much smoother every time I visited the gas station.
