Don't Shoot me!

I'm not the only person with a non-Peugeot related car query

But I can't open the frickin' fuel cap on the hire car Renault Megane Coupe (60 reg)

Any ideas?

Outer flap or fuel cap?

JazzJPH · 03-30-2011, 09:30 AM

Actual cap to fill it

Hammer.

Open cover flap...

Put fuel pump nozzle in and the inner flap moves to allow the nozzle in.

Sounds pure filth but that's how it works, I got my finger stuck to prove it!

i got one of those gay metal flaps...apparently it stops you putting the wrong nozzle at the fuel pump in and a right pain in the arse when you need to use the jerry can.

Fords & Renaults on a Peugeot site, class

Those flaps are stupid. I was stood for ages staring at it, wondering where to put the key. Then tried to find buttons and levers, was awful. Thankfully my cousin has the same model Megane and told me when I phoned him!

I prefer a bit of space so you can tap the last few drips off the nozzle

Don't pay to waste that juice!
