I’d like to be a good son and return the Santa Fe to my dad with a full tank of gas, but I can’t figure out how to open the fuel tank door. How do I open the gas tank on a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe?

Just follow these steps and you’ll be able to return that Santa Fe to your pop with a fuel tank full of gas!
  • Turn the engine off and make sure all doors are unlocked
