A fuel flap lock in a car is a security mechanism designed to prevent unauthorized access to the fuel cap. In most modern cars, the fuel flap lock is usually operated electronically and can be controlled by a button or lever located inside the car's interior. When engaged, the fuel flap lock keeps the fuel flap securely locked, ensuring that it cannot be opened without the proper authorization. This feature provides an added layer of protection against fuel theft and tampering.

The fuel flap lock is integrated into the car's central locking system, allowing it to be synchronized with the vehicle's key or remote control. When the central locking system is activated, the fuel flap lock automatically engages and locks the fuel flap. Similarly, when the central locking system is disengaged, the fuel flap lock releases the fuel flap, enabling it to be opened for refueling. This mechanism is intended to provide convenience and peace of mind for car owners, as it eliminates the need for a separate key or additional manual steps to secure the fuel cap.
