So you just want to refuel your Chrysler Pacifica minivan, but can’t seem to find out how to open the gas tank? You’re not the only one. Here’s the steps on how to access the gas cap.
First, just know there is no actual lever or button in the cab of like you’d see on other vehicles. Here’s how it’s done.
- Park the vehicle and turn the ignition off.
- Exit the vehicle and locate the fuel door toward the rear on the driver’s side.
- Press firmly on the center-back part of the fuel door. It will spring open allowing you to remove the gas cap and refuel.

Man this helped a lot! Thanks, I was sitting on the driver’s side looking everywhere for a button.

Thank you very much. I have one as a rental and thought i was going to have to run it empty. Thank you so very much!!

Has anyone used that white plastic nozzle for refueling? Is it only for siphoning? Has anyone used this nozzle and is there a trick to using it? I have to fill my tank for the first time at a gas station after purchasing a 2019 Pacifica. Will the gas station nozzle fit directly down into tank with that anti-siphoning lock? Thanks.
J Starr says
Yes, the fuel nozzle will be all you need to fill the tank. The plastic nozzle is only if you need to use a gas can to put gas in your tank. The plastic nozzle just goes in far enough to open the safety valve that otherwise would not open if you were fueling from a can. Hope this helps!

Do they come without a gas cap ?

I did the same thing! Search everywhere for a button to open the fuel door. Thank God I googled it and found this website! Really enjoying the Pacifica. But I’ve almost needed a training class to find all the option controls. Took me a while to stop washing my windshield every time I put it into drive, park, or reverse. Lol The knob on the dash takes getting used to. And I’ve left it running a couple times because the engine is so quiet and not having a key also takes getting used to. But really glad we chose a Pacifica.
