Trouble Opening a Petrol Cap?! 😳🙄🤦‍♀️

I also have a fiat 500 and have the same problem. However, watching my husband do it for me I discovered that you have to hold the outer ring still with your left hand and at the same time turn the inner ring that has the key in it. It has worked.

I have a Fiat too but a Panda and the petrol filler cap has a delay on it. I don’t know if it’s a security thing or maybe just that straight after you switch off the engine there is suction which stops the flap opening. After a few seconds it opens much easier.

I have a Fiat 500 and have always struggled with the petrol cap. I have instructions typed out. You have to turn the cap and then turn the key and reverse it to lock. Too complicated. Find a nice garage where they might help or take a friend.

I always struggled with the petrol cap of my Fiat Uno after I'd filled up. Couldn't put the cap back. Made me dread going for petrol, and I don't have arthritis. We now have a Honda Jazz and I've never had a problem with this car.

I too have a loved Fiat 500, petrol cap so flipping complicated, fortunately my lovely son-in-law fills with fuel for me, he has shown me numerous times, still can’t do it😠

GIDDYGRAN be careful my hubby says it may fail MOT with just a temporary cap. We have a Ford fiesta & no cap just a flap. I was liking the look of a Fiat 500 but now I won't consider.

Ford's have a smart fill system, you just open the cover and put your fuel in. I think it's also impossible to put the wrong fuel in (diesel in a petrol, or petrol in a diesel) due to the shape of the inlet.
