there is no release you just push on the door near the hinge and it opens
There is no such thing as a 1998 190E, BTW - It was replaced by the C-class in 1993... On my Mercedes (1984) there is no cap lock, when you lock or unlock the doors, the gas latch (door) is locked or unlocked automatically.
Its on the door panel next to the door handle. at least that's where it is on my 1992 190e 2.3
Well on my 1991 Mercedes Benz 190e the fuel release door is automatic. All you have to do is make sure all the doors are unlocked with the master key and then, go to the fuel door and lightly press in on the left side of the fuel door and pull from the right and it should pop open.
On my 91 190e I had that problem once in a bit of a blonde moment. Apparently the gas tank door is linked to the door locks. The doors on the car must be unlocked for the gas tank door to open. I hope your problem is as simple as this.
Should be a 16 gal. I have a 1993 190e, and it has a 16 gal tank. By the way, there should be a sticker on the side of your filling door that says how big the tank is.
make sure the trunk is unlocked - then just push on the forward end of the cover door and it should tilt open. The trunk lock will also lock the fuel door.
You have to remove the entire door panel. Some models are screwed on and some models just snap on. For the very best advise, take it to you closes Mercedes-Benz dealer. Good luck!
If you pull off the plastic shield inside the car you will see a couple of bolts that screw into the mirror housing. Watch out for small bolts dropping inside the door panel. Magnet-on-a-stick will help

This model has mechanical linkage in the door so you just have to keep trying to hook the lock rod. It's not really hard but you have to just keep trying.
The 1985 Mercedes 380 SE has a gas door release latch located on the driver's side floor board near the hood release lever. If the gas door release latch is no longer operable, the cable to the door might be broken.
If Its Like the 1990 model, it doesn't have one. Simply open the car, and press the front end of the gas cover towards the front. That should do it.
