Help. Fuel door frozen shut.

Blubaron79 · 02-11-2016, 10:56 AM

Help. Fuel door frozen shut. I'm about to leave on business and I go to get gas and I cannot push it in to open it. I could go home quick and put in garage, but I'm short on time. Any suggestions?

Got it! I actually locked and unlocked it several times.

For next time - when we've had wet weather and are expecting a significant drop in temperatures, I don't lock the doors on any of the cars. Too much potential for lingering water to freeze.

For future reference...there is an emergency release you access by removing the battery cover in the trunk.

My comeback was going to be: I like to ski, so I cannot move there. Then I realized you can ski in Cali..

There isn't any problem that can't be solved by a suitable application of high explosives.

Drink plenty of H20 before urinating on your paint, it wont hurt it when it's clear.

I can imagine it now... a quote the film The Italian Job

"You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"

Grr...

I felt like Cali here last week in Pittsburgh when I washed and waxed my car and it was randomly 70. Then the next day went skiing. It was 8F this AM here.
