Hi, so the gas cap on my car won't open. I have tried turning it counterclockwise and pressing it in as I do so.
The fuel is on E and almost into the reserves. Need advice on what to do. Thanks in advance!

Good morning,

When this happens the cap inside is stripped. I would push down as hard as you can and turn it counterclockwise at the same time to release it.

Otherwise you will need some one to cut the cap apart to remove it.
