man, yesterday i have NO GAS, (my gas light's been on for a while) so finally i go to get gas in my car. except right when i get the i try releasing the hatch over the gas tank and it DOESNT work at all, im sitting there at WAWA for like 10 min trying to pop that latch. Anyone have probs with it too??

anyways, i had my dad push one side of the cover as i pressed the release button for it to work.

 

I've been there but luckily it was when I was waxing my car in the driveway (when I wanted to get the excess from the crevice between the gas tank door and body panel). Used a drop of oil on the latching mechanism and where the spring steel contacts. Worked the oil it in by hitting the release a few times. Hadn't had a problem since.

RUDE

 

it was probably just getting stuck especially since you said it opened once you pushed in on the side that the latch is on. That releaved some pressure up against the latch. I'll probably oil mine soon, before this happens to me. Thanks for letting us know.

 

heh, the problem i have with my gas tank button is that, I'll accidently hit it while im driving. i'll i have to pull over or stop to close it again =\
