Trouble Opening a Petrol Cap?! 😳🙄🤦‍♀️

I’ll look out for the help button if there is no one to ask. Getting old is no picnic is it? 😳😄🙄🤷‍♀️

I have tried gardening gloves and they do help, but the Fiat has a flap you need to open before you get to the cap. So double issue. I’ve asked for help in the past, but once no one was around and you had to pay at the kiosk.

Have you tried wearing a gardening type glove with a grippy palm to it? I’ve found they help me to get hold of something, jam jar lids, taps etc, and turn it without needing to put in as much effort.

I've got arthritis in my hands and have had trouble a couple of times. I've actually found young men are the best to ask they've always been very kind. Both times when I had the problem I had let the petrol get very low so I am presuming there was ore of a vacumn of air never had the problem when more than a quarter tank full, just a thought.x

If you love your car jools1310 I wouldn’t change it. No need to feel embarrassed about needing a little help at times. I buy my petrol in the Tesco petrol station and there is a blue button with a wheelchair icon on the side of the pump. The sign says press if you need assistance.

I’ve not used it but I did once ask the person at the next pump to twist off my petrol cap when my wrists were particularly painful. Most folk are more than happy to offer help. It seems a pity to change your car if you’re otherwise happy with it.

What a nuisance for you. There must be a gadget to help with this because you won't be the only one. I'm sure the petrol station staff would be glad to help in the meantime?
