Getting the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Gas Tank Open

Certain gas tanks and caps are more confusing than others to remove. This isn’t a bad thing, as you want your fuel compartment sealed as tightly as possible, so you’re not losing any fuel economy. However, when you’re unable to get the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross gas tank open when you’re on the spot, things can get pretty frustrating. Luckily, after you find the gas tank door release lever, life gets much easier. Use the following steps to find the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross gas cap release: 

1. Place your attention on the floor area to the left of where the driver’s left foot goes. 
2. You should spot a little lever that you can pull upward. 
3. Gently lift the lever, and the fuel compartment should open immediately. 
4. Make your way to the open fuel compartment and twist the cap counter-clockwise, and it should open fairly easily.
