What to Do When the Fuel Tank Cap Suddenly Won't Open?
1 Answers
The solutions for a fuel tank cap that suddenly won't open are: 1. If the fuel tank cap is stuck or rusted, you can ask the gas station staff for help. They can gently pry or tap it while you press the fuel tank cap switch to open it. 2. Motor damage. The emergency switch for the vehicle's fuel tank cap is located under the cover on the fuel tank cap side of the trunk. Pull the emergency handle with a little force while pressing the fuel tank cap to open it. 3. The fuel tank cap spring has lost its elasticity. The owner can handle this by adding a small spring to the protruding rubber pad of the fuel tank to increase the elasticity between the fuel tank cap and the locking device.
