fuel door

I went to open my fuel door and nothing so I had my wife hold the latch while I use my I.D. to pry it open.
Is there a spring or something that pops open the fuel door?

Yes, spring might be snapped (more likely) or arm might be bent (less likely). Also it is not actually a spring, more like a springy piece of metal, look closely at the hinge area.

Just had this happen to me, the clip / spring whatever you want to call it actually just fell off and was sitting inside the door, popped it back in and was all better in about 10 seconds
