Here are the specific reasons why the car's fuel tank cap cannot be opened: 1. The fuel tank cap is stuck or rusted: You can insert a wooden piece into the gap of the fuel tank cap to pry it open, while simultaneously pulling the fuel tank cap's latch switch. 2. The pull cable is too long: The pull cable may be too long or stretched after prolonged use, preventing it from fully engaging when the handle is pulled, resulting in the fuel tank cap not opening; this could also be caused by issues with the handle or the locking mechanism of the fuel tank cap. 3. The fuel tank cap spring has lost its elasticity: You can install a small spring on the protruding rubber pad of the fuel tank to increase the elasticity between the fuel tank cap and the locking device.
