What to do if the fuel tank cap of Mercedes-Benz GLE won't open?
1 Answers
This situation is relatively common. You can insert a small wooden piece into the gap of the fuel tank cap to pry it open. Remember to pull the fuel tank cap's latch switch while prying. You can open the trunk. On the side of the fuel tank cap, there is usually an interior panel that can be opened, typically secured with just a few plastic clips, making it easy to access. You can install a small spring (not too soft or too long) on the protruding rubber pad of the fuel tank to increase the elasticity between the fuel tank cap and the locking mechanism. Apply lubricating grease to the hinges and the engagement points of the fuel tank cap.
