Where is the fuel tank cap switch for the GL8?
2 Answers
The fuel tank cap switch for the GL8 is located either under the driver's seat in the main cockpit or inside the fuel tank cap. The fuel tank stores the working fluid required for the hydraulic system and also functions to dissipate heat, settle impurities, and separate air bubbles from the liquid. Taking the 2020 GL8 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5219mm, width 1878mm, height 1805mm, with a wheelbase of 3088mm and a fuel tank capacity of 71 liters. The 2020 GL8 features a front McPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 237PS, a maximum power of 174kW, and a maximum torque of 350Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
As a veteran GL8 driver with years of experience, I clearly remember the fuel tank cap switch is located on the inner side of the driver's door panel, near the base of the seat. There's usually a small handle or button—just give it a gentle pull to open. This thoughtful design allows operation without leaving the car, which is very convenient. If it doesn't open, the issue might be a stuck cable or debris blockage; a simple clean should fix it. When refueling, note that the tank is on the left side—don’t park on the wrong side and inconvenience the staff. For maintenance, avoid letting moisture in to prevent rust and switch failure. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed when changing fuel to prevent leaks. Overall, the GL8's design is driver-friendly, but regular checks on the switch's functionality are recommended.
