How to Open the Fuel Filler Flap on an Opel Corsa

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa D - Years 2006-2014
Part: Fuel cap

This short video will teach you the emergency procedure to open the fuel filler flap on your Opel Corsa, in case it gets stuck and won't open normally. First, open the boot and lift the fabric cover that protects the spare wheel well. Next, you will need to unscrew and remove the cap located underneath and take off the plastic cover that protects the flap opening mechanism. You will likely notice that the piston, sleeve, or cable is broken or positioned in a way that blocks the fuel filler flap. All you need to do is adjust its position or repair them to be able to open your fuel filler flap again.
