Frozen fuel door cover
I lived in Canada for 20 years and never had this happened... I went to fuel up on my first cold day in South Carolina (-5°C / 23F this morning) and damned if I cant open the flap over the gas cap! Hopefully parking it in the sun for the day will unfreeze it and I can fill up on the way home.
I figure a good dose of WD40 should clean up any water lingering in the area? Any other thoughts/suggestions? |
The retractor may be broken. This is my thread below and you get an idea how to access the retractor as it has a finger pull that may get you open.

Yep, on the little lock part: Check it and spray some wd 40 in there. They can stick.

It was just weather related:) Just need to get some WD40 now as I had forgotten the shippers wont let you bring anything like that with you when you move countries:(
