Subaru outback emergency fuel door release.
We re replacing the fuel gas door cable for a 2003 subaru impreza.
That end piece presses against the face of the hinge when the door is closed and provides the spring to pop the door open the first 3 4 inch or so when the release lever is pulled.
Check that the spring piece is there and not bent out away from the door the 90 degree bend has to press against the fixed hinge frame for the door to pop out.
The cable was seized from rust and wouldn t open the gas door.
