Opening the gas tank on your Ford Escape should be a simple task, but if you are new to the vehicle, you might find it a bit challenging. This guide will take you through the process of opening the gas tank on your Ford Escape from start to finish.
Locate the Gas Cap Release
The gas cap release on the Ford Escape is located on the driver’s side of the vehicle. Look for a lever or button that is labeled “fuel door release” or “gas cap release.” It is usually located on the floor, to the left of the driver’s seat.
Press the Release Button or Pull the Release Lever
Once you have located the gas cap release, press the button or pull the lever to release the gas cap. You should hear a clicking sound when the release is activated.
Exit the Vehicle
Exit the vehicle and walk around to the back of the Ford Escape. The gas cap is located on the rear passenger side of the vehicle.
Open the Gas Cap
Unscrew the gas cap by turning it counterclockwise. Once the gas cap is loose, you can remove it from the gas tank opening.
Fill Up Your Gas Tank
Insert the gas pump nozzle into the opening of the gas tank and fill it up with your desired amount of fuel. Be sure to replace the gas cap tightly when you are finished.
Close the Gas Tank
Push the gas tank door back into place until you hear a click. The door should be flush with the body of the vehicle and there should be no gaps or spaces between the door and the body of the vehicle.
