Fuel filler pipe and tank cap

NOTE: Any water in the filling area can cause the mechanism to freeze at temperatures below 0 C.

In this case the closing mechanism will not open when the nozzle of the petrol/diesel pump is inserted.

A spring-loaded fuel filler door closes off the upper end of the fuel tank filler pipe in place of the filler cap. The spring-loaded fuel filler door features a latching mechanism. The release mechanism is matched to the size of the filler nozzle. If the correct filler nozzle is inserted, the release lugs are pushed back. This releases the slide which can move upwards and opens the way to the spring-loaded fuel filler door for the filler nozzle.
