How do you open the gas tank on a Nissan Frontier?

I have a newer Nissan Frontier model and I can’t figure out how to open the gas tank. Is there a lever somewhere that I’m not seeing?

Nope! To open the gas tank on a newer
Nissan Frontier
model, you won’t need a fuel tank release lever. Rather, unlock all the doors on your car and then press gently on the lefthand side of your vehicle’s fuel door.
When you do this, your fuel door should spring open, revealing the gas cap underneath. From there, you can open the gas tank and begin fueling as normal.
It should be noted that your fuel door will not open if your vehicle is locked. This is to protect your car from others when it is unattended so that you don’t find all of your gas siphoned out of your vehicle unexpectedly.
