2 Answers
The fuel tank cap switch of Borgward BX5 is located on the right side of the vehicle. Common methods to open the fuel tank cap: 1. Mechanical key method. This type of fuel tank cap switch is relatively rare and is usually found on some rugged off-road vehicles. Nowadays, family cars do not use mechanical keys to open the fuel tank cap because it is relatively complicated to use. 2. In-car switch method. The in-car switch is currently the most common way to open the fuel tank door, and it is certainly more convenient than using a key. The in-car switch is located in different positions in different car models. Some are on the floor to the left of the driver's seat, some are on the left front door panel or on the center console, all marked with a fuel pump icon. However, it should be noted that the in-car switch can easily make the owner forget to turn off the engine before refueling, so the owner should remember to turn off the engine before refueling. 3. Press-type opening method. The press-type opening of the fuel tank door is currently the most convenient method. The owner only needs to park the car, and the refueling staff can directly refuel. However, when the owner is not parking for refueling, remember to lock the central control, otherwise the fuel tank cap can be opened. Here is some additional information: 1. It is recommended to refuel with 95-octane gasoline. 2. The fuel tank cap switch of Borgward BX5 only needs to be pressed when the vehicle is unlocked to open the fuel tank cap.
I've been driving the Borgward BX5 for a while now, and the fuel tank switch is actually quite easy to find. It's located on the driver's left-side door panel, right where your leg rests when you're seated. There's a small button with a fuel tank icon—just press it gently, and the external fuel tank cap will pop open automatically. At first, I was fumbling around too, but then I discovered it's cleverly positioned near the seat side of the door, which is a very thoughtful design. Remember to turn off the engine before refueling—safety first. Regularly check the fuel tank cap's sealing ring to prevent dust from getting in and affecting fuel efficiency; it's good for the car. During routine maintenance, ask the mechanic if the cap is loose to avoid any troubles on long trips.
