Why can't I open the fuel cap? Does anyone know what's going on?

It seems the previous owner welded the fuel tank cap shut to save money.

If the fuel tank cap won't open, it's likely due to wear and tear on the tank's pull cable, or it could be caused by the cap getting stuck. Generally, a thorough inspection is needed to determine the exact cause.

First, check if there's an issue with the fuel tank cap locking mechanism. If it won't open, you can remove the surrounding parts and access the locking mechanism from the inside to open it.

Are you unable to open it with the key, or is the mechanical switch inside the car not working? If the mechanical switch is the issue, it might be related to the pull cable being stuck. If the key doesn't work, then it could be a problem with the lock cylinder.

If the fuel tank cap won't open, it might be stuck. Try using something sharp to gently pry it open and see if that works. If not, you might have to use more forceful methods if gentler ones don't work.

If the fuel cap won't open, you should check if it's due to a damaged latch or a deformed cap. If the vehicle is still under warranty, you can have it checked and repaired for free at the 4S dealership.

For this car, the fuel tank cover is opened from inside the vehicle. You just need to pull the fuel tank cover switch to open it. If it doesn't open, it might be stuck. You can try pressing the fuel tank cover and then pulling the switch.
