How to Unlock the Fuel Flap on an Opel Meriva B?

Model: Vauxhall Meriva MK 2, Meriva B - Years 2010-2017
Part: Fuel cap

To unlock the fuel flap on an Opel Meriva B when it is stuck, you need to use an object that acts as a lever to move the internal cover of the wheel arch. By inserting your hand inside, you will need to pull the latch that locks the flap from the inside, as shown in the video. Pulling the latch from the inside will allow you to open the fuel flap. The issue is related to the mechanism's motor: visiting a dealership will allow you to replace the entire part, which will be under warranty for two years and will enable you to refuel without worry.
