Filling up at the gas station is something most vehicle owners do without a second thought. 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 requires several different automotive components. in the case of your Nissan, the Fuel Door Spring is one of these essential parts.
As the name implies, the Fuel Door Spring is the coil responsible for opening your fuel door when you activate the gas lever inside the cabin. With time, exposure to the elements, and even physical impacts, this coil may become corroded or worn, making it hard to get the fuel valve open. So, if you're having to pry or force your fuel door open, this part is likely the cause.
Unlike many other vehicle components, your Fuel Door Spring doesn't call for scheduled replacements. Instead, you only need to change it if and when it malfunctions or breaks.
Even though the Fuel Door Spring is a small part, dealing with an ill-fitting one can be a big inconvenience. Also, forcing the fuel valve door open may damage your Nissan's body and paint job.
Therefore, if your Fuel Door Spring needs to be replaced, make sure you change it out with a genuine Nissan replacement for the right fit and performance. You can also make sure it's installed properly by dropping your vehicle off at the closest Nissan service center for replacement services.
Don't get stuck awkwardly forcing your fuel door open at the gas pump again. Order a genuine Nissan Fuel Door Spring from the people who know your vehicle best, Nissan.
