ABSTRACT:
A fuel filler door release system for a vehicle, includes an outer casing having a longitudinal opening with first and second opposing open ends, and a piston having a piston portion, an insert groove and first and second inner end surfaces. A pivotal lever is also provided having a first arm inserted within the insert groove and a second arm selectively actuable by a release cable. A spring member biases the piston and a switch lever, so that the piston portion is extended through the second end of the longitudinal opening unless the first arm acts on the first inner end surface.
