To know how to open the car fuel tank cap, we must first know the structure of the car fuel tank cap. The trunk and fuel tank cover of modern cars can generally be controlled remotely in the cab. This function brings great convenience to the owner, but when they fail, they often make the owner helpless and cause a lot of trouble.
Generally speaking, the trunk and the cab are separated by the rear seats. Therefore, as long as the rear seats are removed, the trunk can be entered from the cab. After entering the trunk, just use a screwdriver to lift or rotate it. Move the movable part on the door lock, the door lock can be opened.
If the fuel tank cap cannot be opened, you can start from the trunk. First, remove the liner covering the fuel tank in the trunk. The liner is usually fixed by some plastic clips, which can be easily pried off with a screwdriver. After removing the inner liner, you can see the locking mechanism of the fuel tank cap, and you can also see the fuel tank cap pull wire for remote operation. As long as you pull the pull wire, the fuel tank cap can be opened. If it does not work, you can press the movable part of the locking mechanism, and at the same time continuously pull the cable, the fuel tank cap will be easily opened. Some models have a special switch on the locking mechanism, which can be opened by pressing the switch.
