Hi all, newbie here. havent had much time to browse through all 70 threads, so need sifus help to guide me on my problem.
My saga flx MY2013 tank lid cannot be opened. Tried to fill up this morning, but since the lid cannot be opened, i just park it aside first.
Previously i faced the same problem, but after pulling the fuel tank lever 2 or 3 times, i managed to open the lid. Now it cant bo opened at all!!!
Any of you experienced this issue. Need your guidance to repair this.
TQ.
received pm from 1 user on the solution given before somewhere here in the thread. copy paste here for future reference.

tahan the fuel lever with mineral water bottle/tin cola. should be able to pry open the fuel tank with your keys. it comes & goes with my car. sometimes no problem. sometimes have to tahan that way.
or
get someone to tarik the fuel tank lid lever, then pry open the fuel tank lid with 20sen coin. after open the lid, get WD40 and spray around the hinge.
if lazy, just get help from the nearest SC.
so i did as per instructed; and managed to open the lid. Applied the WD40 thoroughly so it wont stuck again.
Closed the lid; but still stuck again.
so i tinkered a bit as i saw the gap on the right side (hinge) is wider than the left. so i pressed the lid to adjust it's position;
and voila!

it is as good as new.
