Hi All,
I'm new to the forum. I own a 1998 Toyota Celica 1.8 ST and I was just wondering if anyone could help. I was at the Petrol Station yesterday and pulled the Fuel Door release a little too hard and felt some tension. To cut a long story short the release latch doesn't work and the fuel door will not open at all. Obviously this is going to cause me a little problem.  Does anyone know if there is an emergency release that I could use which will open the fuel door? I know in some Toyota models there is an emergency release in the boot. Any help would be much appreciated. |

take off the drivers hatch/trunk plastics and reach in there and feel for the lever to release it.

Just get a new one, it's like $2-3 from the dealer. -------------------- |
