Any time this kind of took place if you ask me, My partner and i set several plastic close to the particular show so that it keeps on there eternally.. took place if you ask me 2 times just before, yet by no means once more since i would in which.

this happened to me this week on Monday.... I had to had someone hold the fuel lever inside "up" while I used my card to pop open the door.... REALLY annoying.... finally had time to go to the mitsu dealer and pick up a replacement clip... it was $2.02.... so I grabbed two...

When mine broke last week I fixed it with a coil spring I had in my junk drawer.

It's definitely the gas door spring, I had to have a bystander hold the gas door lever while i used my drivers license to pry door open ( wasn't hard to pry) and then the spring fell into pieces on the ground. I bought mine off amazon for $7 dollars. beler MR970563 is the item and you should be good to go in no time!

I used to cram my keyfob into the gas door lever until I fixed it.. works in a pinch.

I wrote above about how I had fixed by gas door with a junk drawer spring. Well, Thanksgiving morning, about 2:00 A.M., driving on closed interstate in sustained 60 mph winds, blowing and falling snow, I stopped for gas, can barely stand in the wind, and the gas door won't open. Got a new spring from Amazon.
