How to open the fuel tank of Nissan Sylphy?
2 Answers
To open the fuel tank of a Nissan Sylphy, simply press the fuel tank cover release button located below the steering wheel. The fuel tank consists of: fuel tank cap, partition, fuel gauge sensor, fuel inlet/return pipes, filler neck, and vent. Taking the 2021 Nissan Sylphy as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4631mm, width 1760mm, height 1503mm, wheelbase 2700mm, fuel tank capacity 50L, and trunk capacity 510L. The 2021 Nissan Sylphy is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering maximum power of 122PS (90kW) and maximum torque of 155Nm, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving a Nissan Sylphy for several years now. I remember when I first bought it, I didn't even know where the fuel tank cap was. After searching for a while, I finally found a small lever on the floor near the driver's seat. Pulling it makes the fuel tank cap pop open outside—it's really simple. If it doesn't move, the lever might be stuck under the floor mat; just move the mat and try again. This design is safer than those external buttons, as it's less likely to be accidentally opened. Before refueling, I always check if the lever is loose to avoid any last-minute issues. For regular maintenance, you can wipe the lever area with a damp cloth to prevent dust buildup that might cause it to jam. Also, remember to turn off the engine when refueling and ensure no one inside the car pulls the lever, which gives extra peace of mind. When driving other cars, I pay attention to how different models are designed, but the Sylphy's system is really convenient and easy to get used to.
