This is a video showing a quick fix solution that costs nothing to do if you are having problems with your fuel door release cable.
Mine broke on my 2015 Honda CR-V but this would likely work on ANY CAR that has a fuel door release cable!
This is likely a common problem for any car that has a fuel door release cable. This is not exactly a repair, but a modification that offers a cheap and easy solution!
Replacing a Fuel Door Release cable at a dealership would likely cost you hundreds of $$$ or would be a total pain to tear apart the interior trim to access the cable in order to replace it. This is a free and easy solution that still allows for your fuel door to latch, but without digging into the interior to replace the cable.
Hope this is helpful to anyone having a similar issue!
Thanks so much for this. You saved me a world of trouble with this quick fix solution. ❤
I've just fixed ours. The cable breaks off at the lever so it's not too hard to repair. I pulled the covering panel off and unscrewed the lever from the wall for easy access. I bought a small wire clamp from the marine store and used some earth cable to loop through the back of the lever and clamped it to the release cable with the wire clamp, Tighten with extra locking screws to keep it secure. Worked a treat.
This exact problem happened to me today, of course at the gas station after waiting 20 minutes in line. I haven't fix it yet, but after seeing your video it took me 3 minutes to get it opened. I originally called the dealer who gave me the song and dance about it should be covered by my warranty, but they wouldn't be able to look at it until next Thursday. Thank God there are people like you who take the time to put something like this together, just to help people out. Mahalo Ripitzig.
Happy to help! Glad it was useful to you
Amen to that!
Thanks for the tip! Mine broke almost 2 years ago and replacing it would be silly at this point.
Thank you! This video was posted three years ago and you’re still helping people! This worked perfectly and saved me a lot of time and money. Thanks again!!
Thank you for the card trick in the fuel door
Thanks for posting this. My CRV has 170K on it and don't want to spend anything to fix at this point. Your quick fix works for me!
This just happend to me today. So tomorrow morning i will try this. I am exhausted from worry how much the mechanic will charge me. So thank you young man.
This literally just saved me tonight! That stupid cable snapped and i was.on no gas. Thanks for this trick
Same Problem on my 2014 CRV. Used the needle nose plyers and opened the fuel door! Thanks for the Fix!!
Thanks this really helped me tonight and I was standing in -8F. Got my huge problem solved in just 3 minutes 👍
Thank you for posting this! Just used your technique on my daughter's 2014 CRV! 😊
Thank you so much for this video! Literally down to 5 miles worth of gas and can't get the stupid door open at the gas station. With Christmas and Snowmageddon coming, I desperately needed a cheap fix. This worked perfectly! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
This is perfect. Saved me close to $400! Thanks.
Thanks for posting this video, exact same problem with 2013 CRV and this will be way easier than using pliers which I have had to do in the last 2 fill ups.
Had the same issue in a kids car, but instead of bending the arm, I just wrapped a layer of 100MPH Tape (a/k/a Duct Tape) around the arm, at the notch. It stays locked, but all it needs is something like your DL, a debit card, etc to pop it open.
Would you please post a photo of what you did
Dude, I just fixed mine. As you described. It works. Thanks.
Genius!!!
I had to do this today and it worked perfectly. Thank you!
I have this exact problem and didn't want to tear out the interior - I will try this - thanks!
Still working good for me! I just use my card to open the door now. Hope it helps!
@@ripitzig7665 Did it yesterday - works perfect - I now have an old, long out of date credit card I keep just for opening the fueld doore and I didn't have to rip out the interior of the car. Many thanks for this great tip.
@@psavelli65 that’s awesome I’m glad it helped out!
These cables must be made out of spaghetti. I have a 2014 CRV and have replaced this cable twice now. I do this remedy until I get my new one in the mail. It works well. To be fair I do drive for Uber, so my gas cable lever gets yanked far more than a regular Joe/Jane driving around town. But seriously Honda can you freaking make one that will last more than 60k. With the original and two replacements with my third replacement coming in the mail that is a grand total of 4 in 254,000 miles in 4 years time. I'd say its a shitty cable period. What do I gotta do, take my CRV in for gas door cable filter and lube rotation??
Perfect! Thanks for posting this. Saved my bacon today.
When no one else got me I know a random dude from 2020 got me
Thank you!! This is well demonstrated and fixed my issue!
Thank u
I've been carrying pliers with me for over 2 years ha-ha
Thanks for the idea! My cable is stuck and I think that something in the latching mechanism is broken. I looked at your video used a small piece of cardboard to protect the paint used a paint sraper to find the Arm and tapped the end of paint scraper with a hammer. It opened - Thanks for the idea!, and the video
Saved me, thank you bro!
That little trick with trying to adjust the broken wire didn’t work at all. Gas cap won’t budge. The comment section is annoying. Also, that was one of the first things I tried when it broke cause I thought I was so smart. Guess it wasn’t so convenient for me.
Thanks for posting! It helped me!
Thank u for the information.
Worked perfectly! Thanks for the quick fix bruh
Brilliant!
Thank you:)
Thank you
Just had this happen to my 2015 CRV.
Thank you. I just broke the gas latch.
