You must remove the cover right side of the trunk and pull on the grasp.

 

I DO NOT have an emergency puller



My car for some reason does not have the puller! I have looked all over the right side for it. Please help I am about out of gas and have a broken PSE pump!

I've read on PSE pump schematics that the fuel door line requires vacuum pressure to unlock it. Can I just use a vacuum to suck enough pressure through the lines to get it open without damaging the actuator?

I have submitted a picture of the right side of my car. The battery is at the bottom and it shows all the wiring all the way to the trunk

 

Thanks Bullethead D!

You have to be a bit brutal with the boot lining and with a bit of searching, sure enough, it's there! One quick pull and it's open. This'll do until the new PSE pump arrives.

Appreciate your reply. Tim

 

Thanks, Bullethead D (and to tiggilawson, for the additional comment) - added to the Encyclopedia.

 

Instruction also available in the manual

 

The puller should be behind that triangular panel in the picture.

 

It was just a metal pin



After I used the vacuum to open up the fuel door, I reached my hand behind the metal panel and felt the metal round pin that was retracted. I was able to push and pull it back and forth. It's extremely tight between the panels though.

For some reason, my pin didn't have any kind of handle attached to it. Rather it was just a rounded pin about the size of a thick nail. I thought I would pass that along in case someone else has trouble finding the pin.

 

Vacuum suction worked to open fuel door!

I used a Kirby vacuum hose and slowly increased the suction by closing my hand over the hose and the vacuum line (one that says "TD") while my wife was pushing the fuel door until the pin finally retracted!

Again, per Brian, the "TD" vacuum line was the one for the fuel door. Thank you so much Brian Rice for the great schematics! I can at least put gas in it and drive it till I get the pump replaced!

Thanks for the great forums!
