Where is the fuel tank cap located on the Buick Excelle?
2 Answers
The fuel tank cap of the Buick Excelle is located at the bottom left side of the driver's seat. To open it, pull the fuel tank cap upward by hand and then release it. If the fuel tank cap is damaged, you can find the backup fuel tank switch in the trunk and open it manually. The maintenance items for the Buick Excelle fuel tank are as follows: 1. Mainly combined with the first-level car maintenance, drain the accumulated water and sediment in the fuel tank, and check for any oil leakage at the fuel pipe joints and switches. 2. For fuel tank caps equipped with air valves and steam valves, also check if the ventilation holes are clear. 3. The filter screen at the fuel filler inlet should be kept intact to prevent impurities from entering the fuel tank and clogging the fuel lines during refueling. 4. The sealing gasket of the fuel filler cap should also be intact to prevent fuel from overflowing during driving.
I've been driving for over a decade, and the Buick Excelle's fuel tank cap is usually on the right side of the car, which is the passenger seat side. Standing in front of the car, you'll see a round cover marked with a fuel symbol near the right door. To open it during refueling, simply press the cap or the unlock button inside the car. This design is very practical, especially in left-hand drive markets like China, making it easier for the driver to approach the fuel station while the fuel nozzle extends from the right. New owners might overlook the arrow indicator on the dashboard—a small arrow pointing right indicates the fuel tank cap's location. I always make sure to tighten the cap after refueling to prevent fuel evaporation or leaks. Always turn off the engine before refueling to minimize safety risks, and regularly clean dirt around the cap's edges to ensure a proper seal. The fuel tank cap is a small yet smart engineering detail, with safety being the top priority.
