What to Do When the Lavida Fuel Tank Won't Open?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons and solutions for a Lavida fuel tank that won't open: 1. Check the fuel tank cable issue. 2. The fuel tank cap is stuck or rusted: This is a relatively common situation. You can insert a small wooden piece into the gap of the fuel tank cap to pry it open while pulling the fuel tank cap's lock switch. 3. The cable is too long: The cable may be too long or stretched after some use, preventing it from fully engaging when the handle is pulled, thus causing the fuel tank cap not to open. 4. There is an issue with the handle or the lock mechanism of the fuel tank cap. 5. The fuel tank cap spring has lost its elasticity: If the owner wants to handle it themselves, they can add 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. 6. The fuel tank cap's engagement area has aged: Apply lubricant to the hinge and engagement areas of the fuel tank cap for lubrication.
