03 onwards - How do you open the fuel flap? - Desperate Sue
My friend has a Nissan Micra courtesy car and is at a petrol station, but can't open the petrol flap thingy. My car (Toyota) has a pull release to the right, and under the steering wheel, but she can't see anything similar. HELP!!

Is there a car manual in the glovebox? Failing that what if there is no release. Pressing some fuel flaps on one size (or pulling) opens them as the filler itself needs a key to unlock it.

No Manual. Will get her to try pushing on flap over petrol filler. Thank you.

Older Nissans had the petrol flap opener to the right of the driver's seat, on the floor. But as this car will most likely be the Renault Micra, I don't know.

Looking at the pictures of the interior on Parker's site, they clearly show the petrol release where you describe it on your Toyota -- next to the boot release, to the right and under the steering wheel on the lower dash.

Will text her. Thank you very much.

Thanks everyone - she has found it. To the right of the steering wheel, under the dash. Phew!!

What happened to Jase's blond comment - I was submitting a suitable reply ;-)

That was only meant as a lighthearted remark!

I didn't delete it!!

Why don't you just respond as if it were still there -- I think it's pretty obvious what I said ;)

I did reply, but that disappeared too. Very strange. I said my friend was a brunette, like me, and I was clever enough to go on this website to find out the answer. Was going to bed early, but have had a good laugh. ;-)
