Solutions for a fuel tank cap that won't pop open: 1. If the fuel tank cap is stuck or rusted, you can gently pry it or tap it while pressing the fuel tank cap switch to open it; 2. Some vehicles are equipped with an emergency fuel tank cap release, usually located under a panel on the side of the fuel tank cap in the trunk. Pull the emergency handle firmly while pressing the fuel tank cap to open it; 3. If the fuel tank cap spring has lost its elasticity, you can install a small spring on the rubber pad of the fuel tank protrusion to increase the elasticity between the fuel tank cap and the locking device; 4. In cold weather, the fuel tank cap may not open due to freezing. Choose an appropriate method based on the conditions, such as pouring hot water or forcing it open.
