2 Answers
Changan Eado's fuel tank can be opened either with the matching key or using the switch on the left side of the seat. The detailed instructions are as follows: 1. When refueling the car: (1) Turn off the engine and set the parking brake. (2) Pull the fuel tank door release handle and ensure all doors and windows are closed. (3) Open the fuel tank door and unscrew the fuel filler cap counterclockwise. (4) Fill the tank with fuel. (5) After refueling, screw the fuel filler cap clockwise until you hear a click. (6) Close the fuel tank door and press firmly until it locks. 2. Special attention should be paid during refueling: Fuel vapors are highly flammable and can cause serious injury or even death. Turn off the engine to avoid sparks. Do not enter the vehicle while refueling. If you must enter, ensure the door is closed.
As an owner who has driven various old and new cars, I find the fuel tank cap operation of the Changan Eado quite simple. Usually, there's a lever or button near the driver's seat, close to the left foot position, which you can easily reach when seated. A gentle pull or press automatically pops open the fuel tank cap for refueling. This design is for anti-theft and safety purposes, unlike older cars that required manually opening the cap with a key. I often remind my friends to ensure the car is turned off before refueling to prevent fire hazards. If the cap doesn't open, don't rush to force it open, as it might damage the fuel pump or wiring—checking the door lock or fuse usually solves the issue. During regular maintenance, you can clean dust around the cap with a damp cloth to keep it opening and closing smoothly. Overall, the Eado's design is very user-friendly, making it easy for both beginners and experienced drivers to handle.
