To unlock the gas tank door on a Mitsubishi Outlander, you must first find the fuel door release lever near the driver's seat on the floor by the seat controls. Pull the lever up to open the fuel door, then twist the gas cap counterclockwise to access the tank. If the release lever is faulty, it may be due to issues with the latch or cable, necessitating replacement. The price for a new release lever can vary from $25 to $45, depending on the brand and quality.

    It varies depending on the year of your vehicle. I have a 2022 model, so you need to press the door panel to make it pop open.

    Look directly down from the front of the door handle to the black trim on the floor. The lever seamlessly merges with the trim!

    I greatly appreciate your help. We rented this car in a different state and were unsure how to access the gas tank. Your suggestion was to pull down the lever located on the floorboard next to the driver's seat on the left side. Thanks a lot for assisting us with opening the gas tank. Some others had recommended pulling up the lever, but your advice worked perfectly. Thank you once again! 🙏🏻
