Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you need to refuel your Mitsubishi SUV, but you struggle to open the gas tank? Don’t worry; you’re not alone. It can be confusing, especially if you’re driving a new model. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to open the gas tank on your Mitsubishi SUV.
Locate the Gas Tank
The first step is to locate the gas tank. The gas tank is usually located on the side of your Mitsubishi SUV. Check the driver’s manual to know the exact location of the gas tank for your specific model. Once you’ve located the gas tank, you’re ready to proceed.
Unlock the Gas Tank
Most Mitsubishi SUVs have a locking gas tank. You’ll need to unlock it before you can open it. Locate the gas tank door release lever near the driver’s seat, usually on the floor or dashboard. Pull the lever, and you’ll hear a click sound indicating that the gas tank is unlocked.
Push or Pull the Gas Tank Door
After unlocking the gas tank, you can now push or pull the gas tank door open. Some Mitsubishi SUV models have a push-to-open gas tank door, while others require you to pull the door open. Check the driver’s manual for your SUV model to know the type of gas tank door you have.
Open the Gas Cap
After opening the gas tank door, you’ll see the gas cap. Hold the gas cap and turn it counterclockwise to unscrew it. Don’t remove the gas cap yet. Instead, leave it attached to the fuel filler neck. This allows air to flow into the gas tank, which is necessary for a smooth refueling process.
Refuel Your Mitsubishi SUV
Now that you’ve opened the gas tank, you can refuel your Mitsubishi SUV. Insert the gas nozzle into the gas tank and hold it in place. Press the trigger on the nozzle to start refueling. Once you’re done, return the gas nozzle to the pump and screw the gas cap back onto the gas tank.
Close the Gas Tank Door
After refueling, close the gas tank door by pushing or pulling it shut. Make sure it’s securely closed to avoid any gas leaks. You’ll hear a click indicating that the gas tank door is locked.
