[Misc] Car Help Please! Ford Fiesta, petrol cap / flap jammed? Thanks

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

Seriously?

Yes,if you have a car with a similar fuel cap then you will have a device somewhere hidden in the car similar to what piltdown man or myself describe.

Ford introduced this system so there's no need for a cap. Normally in the glove box though may have been moved is what looks like a slender funnel. This is designed to release the flap if using a petrol can to fill up with. If you can find it try pushing that in, giving it a shove if need be.

Yes that's right it could be a funnel with fords.

Apologies for my ignorance, is this a detachable piece with which I should give the 'cap' a push? If so would a screwdriver or a particuarly firm finger suffice?
Thanks, I'd give you the thumbs up but it only seems to give me the option to 'thumb-down' posts

The thing you need looks like this. It's usually with the spare wheel/under the boot floor.

Have you tried turning the engine off and on again?

Totally. I read this thread and was completely emotionally invested in every twist and turn. From “wrong fuel” theories to the mysterious “special tool”. So glad it’s sorted without anything expensive happening, and probably another clear sign that I need lockdown to end sooner than later.

No, that's the incontinence device.

Damn, would have got away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids.

Never has a mobile phone caused a fire in a petrol station

I was told off over a tannoy for looking at my phone one time. All a bit embarrassing!

Did you really have to watch that porn at full volume though?

You mean a window ? Could have been the bailiffs

So far, not a car or fuel pun to seen. We can now all focus on something else.
