Yota's!

Hey everyone, does anyone know how to adjust the fuel door release on a 95 4runner? When I pull the fuel door release I can hear it unlock but by the time I make it around the car it's locked itself. My temporary solution is to wedge something in between the fuel release latch so it stays unlocked.

I hope someones felt my pain.

 

It might be that the fuel door has lost it's spring.

 

Is the door really stiff to open? I had to lube mine and rebent the spring.

 

It's not stiff at all. When I have the latch held open all I have to do is tap the edge of the door and it swings open freely v

 

I think your spring has become unsprung.

 

Is the spring in the fuel door? Anyone have a picture of what a working door should look like?

 

why dont you just disable the release and put a barrel lock on it.. i did that on my 85 ( never had a release) but now im not worried about getting syphoned either..
