There are impacts if the fuel tank cap is not closed while driving. The impacts include: 1. Safety issue: If there is an open flame or static electricity spark nearby, it can easily cause an explosion; 2. Fuel consumption issue: After the gasoline evaporates, the fuel decreases, making the fuel consumption appear extremely high; 3. Pollution issue: Gasoline contains benzene, and its evaporation affects the atmospheric environment during driving. The situations where the fuel tank cap cannot be opened are: the cap is stuck or the hinge of the fuel tank cap is rusty. The solution is: insert a small wooden piece into the gap of the fuel tank cap to pry it open, and remember to pull the latch switch of the fuel tank cap while prying.
