An automotive expert reveals a clever solution for opening a stuck fuel filler flap in a car. @dongcheshijie, known for sharing helpful car tips on TikTok, recently shared this hidden car safety hack with her followers.
In her latest video, @dongcheshijie explains that there’s no need to take your car to a mechanic if the fuel filler flap gets stuck. She demonstrates, “The solution is simple; just open the trunk. Look here, there’s a hidden emergency pull ring.”
“It’s right here, just pull the tab. And voila, it opens! Easy peasy!”
In the video, @dongcheshijie assists a stranded driver by locating a small tab near the fuel filler. By pulling the tab, the fuel filler flap opens automatically, allowing the driver to refuel without any potential damage.
However, it’s essential to be gentle when pulling the tab to avoid causing harm to it or the surrounding interior parts.
Many modern cars have remote-opening fuel filler caps that typically require the driver to press a button inside the vehicle or on the key fob to open. While this feature aims to deter fuel theft, various issues can cause the system to malfunction.
To find the specific location of the emergency release in their car, drivers are advised to consult the owner’s manual for their vehicle.
