A quick fix for a fuel filler door on a new Beetle automobile is to use a paperclip where the hinge should be. If the door is completely broken off, a new door should be purchased.
Check the door jambs or fuel filler door - should be a label
on the drivers door, in front of the rear hatch release. its down low towards the front of the car.
The fuel pump coming on. Most cars prime the pump when you turn the key on, but VW does it when you open the door.
Place fingernails under outer edge of fuel door. Lift and push door towards the middle of the vehicle. This has always worked for me since the fuel door release stopped working correctly. You can acces the fuel door release cable from the inside of the trunk. Just remove the circular plastic cover inside the trunk nearest to the fuel door, pull the cable until the door releases. To fix this problem permanently you will need to tighten this cable.
If you open up the fuel door the tire psi information is in there. I have a 2001 VW Beetle and my tire psi should be between "28 to a MAX of 38 psi.
The beetle is a fuel efficient car. 25 in the city and 32 on the highway makes is fuel efficient.

The fuel tank is up front, under the front bonnet. I'm not entirely sure if the fuel door is on the outside, or under the bonnet. If it's on the outside, you'll see a small door on the cowling by the fender. If not, open the bonnet and there should be a round gas cap on the driver's side of the car.
By the light in the trunk of the car there is a hand sized panel. Inside there is a cable with some foam around it. Pull the cable and the door should pop open.
Push on the fuel door itself to open. There is NO remote fuel door release. Push on the fuel door itself to open. There is NO remote fuel door release.
