How do I open a stuck gas tank door on a Toyota Camry?
I just pulled up to the pump to fill my Camry, and the gas tank door is jammed. How do I get a stuck gas tank door on a Toyota Camry open?

First, you need to determine if your
Toyota’s
fuel door is actually stuck or if the release just isn’t working. If the release isn’t working, grab your owner’s manual. It will show you where the emergency release for your gas tank door is located. Typically, it is in the trunk, but the manual will give you the specific location. Once you’ve filled up, you’ll have more time to determine if you just have a bad fuel door fuse or if you need the release spring replaced.
If the door is actually stuck or jammed, try sliding a credit card or using a flathead screwdriver to pry open the door while someone else presses the fuel door release button.
If neither of these tactics works, it’s time to head to a mechanic.
