How to open the gas tank cap on a car

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Fuel cap

The opening of the gasoline cap on many vehicles is now connected to the centralized opening of the car itself because even indirectly, if the vehicle is not unlocked, the flap cannot open. It is therefore necessary to unlock the vehicle's opening using the key remote and then open the driver's side door in order to pull the lever with the fuel pump symbol located near the driver's seat. Once the lever is pulled, the flap will open allowing us to rotate the tank cap to remove it and insert the pump for refueling.
