How to Open the Fuel Filler Flap on the Ford Explorer?

Model: Ford Explorer MK 5, U502 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Fuel cap

In this tutorial, we will see how to open the fuel filler flap on the Ford Explorer, a very simple operation similar to many other vehicles. In this model, there is no manual release inside the cabin; the only thing to do is unlock the locks, go to the front of the flap, and gently press it at the rear. Once opened, you can unscrew the fuel cap and refuel. To close the flap, simply press it again until you hear a click, indicating that the lock is securely engaged.
