Let’s see how to open the fuel filler cap for refuelling on a Smart Fortwo. First, open the fuel flap located on the left side of the car's body (insert your finger in the plastic space to open it); you will find the black plastic fuel cap: unscrew it and remove it from the tank neck (attach the cap to the flap).
