About how to open the fuel tank cap on the Focus, I remember this was a common question from customers during repairs. First, make sure the vehicle is unlocked—either with the key fob or the door key. The Focus's fuel tank cap is located on the right side of the rear. For most models, there's a small lever or button on the floor near the driver's side pedal—just pull or press it gently, and the fuel cap will pop open. If it gets stuck, don’t force it; it might be due to rusted springs or dust buildup. It’s recommended to check and clean it regularly, and apply some lubricant to prevent rust. Always turn off the engine before refueling—safety first! Don’t forget to open the fuel cap only after the engine is off. I’ve seen too many people fail to open it because they forgot to unlock, especially when the battery is dead and they need to use the spare key. The Focus’s design is quite user-friendly; you’ll get the hang of it after a few tries.
