How to open fuel door

The fuel door is a push-open when working right. If the door doesn't open, there's an emergency latch inside the trunk, just behind the fuel door. Remove the inside trunk panel and insulation, and behind the insulation, you'll see a red pull tab. Just pull the tab out and that unlocks the fuel door. You then just rotate the fuel door out of the way to see the gas cap.

Not that simple. Some days you can use a wide variety of punctuation and no problems. Others, mostly weekends, most punctuation will cause delays..... I prefer eloquence over expediency, so I just put up with it, albeit, begrudgingly.
