How to open the fuel tank cap on the Toyota Corolla

Model: Toyota Corolla MK 3 - Years 2006-2013
Part: Fuel cap

Opening the gas cap on a Toyota Corolla is a very simple and quick operation to do independently. Before opening the gas tank cap, we must open the fuel door, and to do this, we must open the driver's side door and pull the lever next to the seat with the gas pump symbol. Once the door is open, you will need to unscrew the cap counterclockwise to refuel. Close the cap once finished, and then close the fuel door. This procedure is the same on many Toyota Corolla vehicles from other years.

Once all these fastening elements have been removed, you can detach the bumper from its seat by disconnecting the connectors inside and then insert the new replacement part.
