gas tank door
02 Honda Civic.
Stopped for gas tonight, hit the release button on the floor and the little door covering the gas cap wouldn't open. We had to pry it open. I guess the cable or something isn't working properly. Any idea what it is and what it will cost to fix? Thank you.

I pushed the door in (closing it tighter) because I thought may -- Bearman If it's got tits, tires, tubes, or transistors, it's trouble. be there was too much pressure on the latch. That worked. Other times it seems to take a few seconds to operate but it does open. HTH

No, how do you do that?

Does the cable move ok? Mine did, and the door didn't open. Some minor bending of the "spring" at the door allowed it to do it's job of clearing the latch.

Re: gas tank door
Nothing happens when I push the release button down to open the fuel door.
However, when I pull it up, the trunk release does work.

Re: gas tank door
Gas Release lever unlocks the gas cap. The metal spring swings it open.
Check metal spring.
