Default manually opening the gas door

Is there any way to do this. I had someone hook up a flameball for me and I think this might be the culprit, but i'm on reserve and need to open it.

Do you have an owners manual?

Look inside your left rear corner of the rear compartment. There's a small cable (wire) with a black plastic tag on it. Just pull the cable and it will open your fuel door. :yesnod: :yesnod:

Sorry about that ... of course you are right, but I find it is amazing that people will spend this much on such a special car and then not spend a little time with the owners manual to really understand all the great features and engineering that have gone into it. But to each his own... I won't post such a response again... :blueangel:

When I was in the Army, it was "When all else fails, read the directions", and when all else fails, get a bigger hammer".

I have always considered this to be SOP (standard operating procedure).

But now we have the forum.
