What to Do When the Car Fuel Tank Cap Won't Open?
1 Answers
Solutions for a car fuel tank cap that won't open: 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. Remember to pull the fuel tank cap's release switch while prying; 2. If the fuel tank cap cable has come off, you can open the trunk and find a removable inner panel on the side of the fuel tank cap. After opening it, you will see the long cable that operates the fuel tank cap. Pulling it will solve the problem; 3. If the fuel tank cap spring has lost its elasticity, the owner can add a small spring (not too soft or too long) to the protruding rubber pad of the fuel tank to increase the elasticity between the fuel tank cap and the locking device.
