If you’re new to the Nissan Altima because you just purchased it or using it as a rental, you might not know where the fuel door release latch is located. It’s not in a rather odd spot that you wouldn’t find it in other vehicles. This post should help you find it though.
- Locate the fuel door release lever next to the hood release lever. You can find it on lower-left side of the steering wheel.
- Pull the lever toward you to pop the door open.
- Exit the vehicle, then open the fuel door. You can then twist the cap off.

Thanks for this! I have an Altima as a rental and could not for the life of me locate this latch.

The door covering the gas cap will not open. Please explain how to open it. Thanks
