How to open the fuel cap of a Fiat Panda that is stuck

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Fuel cap

In this video, we see how to open the fuel door of a Fiat Panda that is stuck and cannot be opened from the outside. This is a rather serious problem because it prevents us from refueling. We will definitely have to have the fuel door repaired by a body shop, but how can we refuel in the meantime. Fortunately, Fiat technicians have thought of this possibility. Just open the rear hatch, and once opened, we notice that on the passenger side, there is a small loop made of a red cord, which is located right at the fuel door: pull it and it will open, allowing us to refuel.
