How to Open a Gas Tank Door on a Toyota
- 1). Place your car in park next to the gas tank. Be sure to park with the gas tank adjacent to the pump.
- 2). Turn off your vehicle.
- 3). Trigger the mechanism in your car to open the tank if it has an automatic open switch. This can be a lever or a button, often located near the bottom of the driver's side door. If the car doesn't have a mechanism, get out of your car and pull the tank open. There will be a groove in the gas tank door that lets you use your fingers to pull it open.
- 4). Unscrew the gas tank. If the cap is not attached to your Toyota, keep it nearby or set it on top of the vehicle so it doesn't become misplaced.
