How do I open the gas tank on a Mini Cooper?
I recently bought a Mini. It’s time for my first fill-up, but I can’t find the fuel door release button. How do I open the gas tank on a Mini Cooper?

Don’t worry about finding a fuel door release! To open the gas tank on a
Mini Cooper
, all you need to do is push on the fuel door itself to release the latch. You do need to make sure the Cooper is unlocked though. If your car is locked, so is your fuel door.Once you’ve got the door open, simply rotate the gas cap counter-clockwise (to the left) to take it off. While your
Mini
will run on any grade of unleaded fuel, the manufacturer strongly recommends 91 octane premium fuel for the best performance. It may cost a little more at the pump, but it can save you loads of cash on wear and tear over time.View full answer
