Honda Civic EX 2004 - Gas Cover Won't Open
I went to get gas at a gas station and pushed the gas lever from inside my car to eject the gas cover. It doesn't open. I don't know what the problem is. Can someone help? I am running out of gas so I cannot drive anywhere close to get help so I parked it close by. I tried so many ways to pry it open but it wouldn't budge.
Please help.
Thanks

Try having a friend push the door release lever while you try to open the door. The opening spring dealio popped off the door once so the lever and cable functioned perferctly, there was just nothing to pop the door open. If this is your case, keep an eye out for a flat metal spring to fall out of the gas filler compartment.
If your cable is busted, there is a manual release in your trunk somewhere. I don't really know where it is since I haven't had to use it.

yeah try having a friend pop the lever when u try to open at the same time
the metal latch on the inside of the gas door could be bent and stuck or your gas door cable broke away from the popper. if u pull back the lining of your trunk u can see if it is broke from there.
