Fuel Flap Cable

The Fuel Flap Cable in a car is responsible for securely locking and unlocking the fuel flap in order to provide easy access to the fuel tank. This cable is typically made of a durable material, such as steel, and is connected to the fuel flap mechanism and the interior release lever.

When the interior release lever is pulled, it activates the Fuel Flap Cable, causing it to release the locking mechanism on the fuel flap. This allows the driver or the fuel station attendant to open the fuel flap and insert the fuel nozzle into the tank. Conversely, when the fueling process is complete, pulling the interior release lever again locks the fuel flap securely in place, thanks to the Fuel Flap Cable. This ensures that the fuel flap remains closed and tightly sealed, preventing any fuel leaks or unauthorized access to the fuel tank.
