How do you open the gas tank on a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe?

I borrowed my friend’s 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe to visit my mom out of town for the weekend, but I just can’t seem to figure out how the gas tank works. Do you know how to open the gas tank on a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe?

That’s a nice favor for your friend to extend! Nonetheless, we understand your frustration. Strange cars can be tough to figure out, and the 2016
Hyundai Santa Fe
is no different. Here’s an easy-to-follow, step-by-step process on how to open the gas tank on a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe:
  • Step one: Find the fuel door on the left side of the vehicle towards the bumper.
  • Step two: Push the center-rear edge of the fuel door and allow it to pop open.
  • Step three: Unscrew the gas cap underneath the fuel door to access the gas tank.
And there you have it! Remember to always fuel up before your fuel gauge hits “E,” and make sure the gas cap is replaced and the fuel door is closed before driving away from the pump.
