Filling up at the gas station is a task most vehicle owners do on auto-pilot. They pull the lever inside the cabin to open the fuel door, turn off their car, step out of the vehicle, and pay for and pump their gas. As mundane as it seems, pumping gas is vital to keeping your car on the road, and the process of doing so calls for several different automotive components. In your INFINITI's case, the Fuel Door Spring is one of these essential parts.
As the name may suggest, the Fuel Door Spring is the coil that opens your INFINITI fuel door when you pull on the gas lever inside the cabin. With time, exposure to moisture, and even collisions, this coil may become corroded or worn, making it hard to open the fuel valve. So, if you have to force or pry the fuel door free, the Fuel Door Spring is likely the reason.
Unlike many other vehicle components, the Fuel Door Spring doesn't require routine replacements. Instead, you only need to swap it out if and when it breaks or stops working.
Even though the Fuel Door Spring is a small part, dealing with an ill-fitting one can be a significant inconvenience. Also, you risk damage to your INFINITI's body and paint job when forcing the fuel valve door open.
Accordingly, if you need to replace your current fuel valve spring, make sure you swap it out with an OEM replacement for guaranteed fitment and performance. You can also make sure it's installed properly by visiting your nearest INFINITI service center for Fuel Door Spring replacement services.
Don't get stuck awkwardly forcing your fuel door open at the gas pump again. Order a genuine INFINITI Fuel Door Spring from the people who know your vehicle best, INFINITI.
The Fuel Door Spring seen here, part 788360W000, is made for your INFINITI QX4 1997-2003. See the What This Fits tab for more details.
