How do I get the fuel cap to open

1 comments:

Mr. Anderson

May 14, 2025

To open the fuel cap on an MG MG3, first release the vacuum in the fuel tank by pressing the button located under the steering wheel. Then unscrew the fuel cap, which may require more force than usual. If it remains difficult, applying a small amount of Vaseline to the threads and seal face may help ease opening.
