How do you open the gas tank on a 2017 Hyundai Elantra?

I’m on vacation and I’ve rented a 2017 Hyundai Elantra for the week, but my fuel tank is getting low and I need to fill up on gas soon. Problem is, I’m not sure how to open the gas tank. Any idea how to open the gas tank on a 2017 Hyundai Elantra?

gas tank before. Thankfully, it’s pretty easy to open once you get the hang of it. Here’s how to open the gas tank on a 2017 Hyundai Elantra:

  • Step four: Unscrew the gas cap behind the fuel door to access the gas tank.
