Hi,

I have a Ford Focus 2005 MK II 2.0Ltr petrol. This may sound stupid but i have not put fuel in it for over a year. The fuel flap is closed shut. How do i open the fuel flap ?, is there an under seat fuel flap release lever?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Arthur,

    Thanks, maybe that would explain it, the battery is disconected and i am opening the car manually with the key.

    So do you think when i reconnect the battery and use the key, the flap will open as normal just when i open the doors using the remote, yes?

    many thanks for your quick response,

    regards,

    Ed
