How do you open the gas tank on a 2008 Hyundai Elantra?

I just got a used 2008 Hyundai Elantra and have been driving around getting used to it. Now it’s looking low on gas and I need to head to the gas station—but I’m still figuring out where all the levers and controls are.

Congrats on the new wheels! There is definitely a learning curve when it comes to driving a car that’s new to you. You can open the gas tank on a 2008
Hyundai Elantra
by pulling the lever on the side of the driver’s door.
  • When you’re at the gas station, turn off the engine and look down on the far left side of the driver’s door—you should see a black lever with a white gas tank icon.
  • Pull up on the fuel-tank lever—but don’t accidentally pull up on the trunk lever right next to it!
  • Open the door to the gas tank and turn the gas cap counterclockwise to remove it. Now, you’re all set to refuel your Elantra!
