Don’t know where else to post this , not a major item but just a pain in the ass. My fuel door spring broke while opening months back and I found the piece on the floor as I filled up at the pump.
I searched and searched and no one seems to have a fix other than a used door from eBay.
That being said I found dorman makes a replacement for Tahoe’s etc
$7 later and a dremmel and two pairs of pliers ....... I cut it in half , our spring is more of a “half heart” shape so it took little force to open the spring. Unfortunately I didn’t have a pic of the final shape , I was playing with popping it in and different torsions on it. When I got it In place I couldn’t get it out.
No more people flagging me down telling me my gas tank is open
