- If your Toyota fuel door spring is not working we go over two ways how to fix it in this video. Both are DIY options, the first is if your fuel door wont open or your gas door wont open and you need to refill quickly. You can jam something (sock or sandal) in this video under the latch and then go over and pry the door open with a key. That will help you how to open your toyota fuel door when it wont open in order to pump gas and not be stranded. The second way we actually replace the little broken toyota fuel door hinge spring. Its cheap and very easy.

Dude I saw this video from the gas station, panicking that the fuel door wasn't opening, running low on gas. This video was a real saviour.. Thanks a lot.. 😅
Lol same here! 2/20/2024
Life saver!
Same here, april 2024
Saved my life
What if my spring is not missing? Is it the cable?
Discovered the fuel door was broken last night while at the gas station with less than a quarter tank. This video saved me! Thank you so much!
Thanks for a great tip. On my older Highlander, the spring had flattened out and wouldn’t open the filler door. Fortunately someone else was at the gas station, and saw I was having trouble and offered to open the filler door while I was pulling the lever. Your solution is what I really needed to know. Thanks again.
You are welcome
Whew! Dude THANK YOU!!!! Worked like a charm on my 2001 Camry!

Wow! What a life saver. I was stuck at the hydrogen gas station for my Mirai. It’s scary with Mirai because you can’t find hydrogen at many places.

Thankyouuuuuuu. It just happen. ❤❤❤❤. It helps.
You are welcome. Now you are not stuck!
I used the first way-thank you; but I needed a pen to keep the latch open since it is so close to the latch that opens the trunk
You da man. Just keyed the sheeeit outta my sister’s car trying to pry it open. Found this video and smooth sailin’ !
Happy to help, what did you use to prop the lever open?
@@thecollegepicker my wallet🤣. Full of other peoples business cards lmaoooo
That works!
Thank you SO much!!!
You are welcome.

Great video
thx! =)
Thank you bro you save dmy life LITERALLY
You are welcome bro. Glad you didn't get stuck.
@thecollegepicker fist time happens to my car here in the gas station don't know what to do. Finally google led to your video.
This fixed my 21 Corolla 👌
Same concept 20 years older lol
Do you have link for Camry 2020 hybrid. I can’t find a fix for, door doesn’t open, I have to jam credit card before opening and push unlock to open gas tank
What year is your Prius? I'm having a similar problem with my 2018 Camry. I know sometimes a part can work across models and years, just curious how far back this one went.
Legend
Lol luckily I don't have to pump gas in NJ but when I'm out of state I've used my cell phone to wedge under the lever
Lol that fixes it too!
hahaha hello New Jersey
Thanks
No problem
What is the name of that one you replaced to fix this issue i want to order online
Can you add the tip thing because I would totally donate. My door got stuck at a gas station and this got me out of a jam.
Anyone have a link to one that fits 2020 Camry? Every lone I’ve seen says it won’t fit and I really don’t need to pay $20 for what is basically a paper clip.
Just look in your owners manual in the fuel filler section. Most trunks have an hidden compartment that you can pull a lever or string which manually pops the fuel door open. (This video method doesn't work on newer cars that have a push button to open the gas door.)
Saved my ass thank you😊
You are welcome. Socks or sandals?
What about when the lever itself will not move? And there's nothing obvious blocking it
Where is the link for a Honda?
so you are showing if the lever or spring is broken, but what if the entire wire of my toyota matrix 2009 has come out, i am talking that there is no lever and all I can sed is the wire assembly or whatever you call it.
Can you pull that wire or has it broken in the middle?
Thanks. You just saved me $300 the dealership was trying to charge me. They wanted to replace the actual switch. I refused to move forward with that. The problem wasn’t the switch, I could hear it releasing every time I pushed the button. The problem was the door just wasn’t getting past the switch.
They better not send me “how was your service today?” Email…….
Glad you got it fixed!
❤
A little nub of plastic broke off in the blue area so I put a piece of thick velvet sticky back on the other area and that fixed it. the pressure of the door being closed will hold the thick velvet in place. cost. 0$ sorry had a picture drawn out 😅
Before I get stranded by not putting gas in my car I would tear that dang door completely off.
Lol
A bit too zoomy. Thought my Corolla would be a close enough model to see where this piece goes, but, off to look for close-up pictures.

Youre the fucking goat bro
Thanks bro.
@@thecollegepicker my ass wouldve been late to work🤣
@@7ate9100times lol dont be late!
Wish I had found this before the panick started to set in.
To
Oh no this didnt dp the trick for me rip
Why stuff something under the lever? Surely someone must be around to hold it up for you.
This doesn't help with a push button
