How to Open the Fuel Tank Cap of the Encore?
2 Answers
The method to open the fuel tank cap of the Encore is as follows: Inside the fuel tank cap, there is a twist-off cap. Turn it counterclockwise to remove the cap for refueling. After refueling, twist the cap clockwise until you hear a "click" sound, indicating it is properly secured, then simply press the fuel tank cap back into place. The Encore is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV under the SAIC-GM Buick brand, equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It has dimensions of 4295mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1607mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2570mm. The top speed reaches 180 km/h, and the fuel tank capacity is 70L.
When I first bought the Encore, I was totally clueless about opening the fuel tank cap. A friend told me there's a small round button on the left door panel near the driver's seat—just press it to pop it open. Now refueling is super smooth: I get in, unlock the car with the key fob, and press the button—done. The design is pretty clever, with internal operation for anti-theft security. Avoid yanking the cap hard, as it can damage the lock. After refueling, just close it gently to keep it clean, rust-free, and durable. Adopting this habit saves a lot of hassle.
