1 Answers
Reasons why the fuel tank cap cannot be opened: 1. The fuel tank cap is stuck or rusted; 2. The fuel tank cap cable has come off; 3. The fuel tank cap cable is too long: After prolonged use, the cable may stretch, causing it to not fully engage when the release handle is pulled, resulting in the fuel tank cap not opening. Solutions: 1. If the fuel tank cap is stuck or rusted, you can insert a small wooden piece into the gap of the fuel tank cap to pry it open while simultaneously pulling the fuel tank cap release switch; 2. Open the trunk, and on the side of the fuel tank cap, there will be an inner panel that can be opened. Once opened, you will see the long cable operating the fuel tank cap. Pulling it will release the cap; 3. Replace the cable, release handle, or locking mechanism.
