How to open fuel door 1989 XT6

Hi everyone, stupid question time...

We just bought a 1989 XT6 today, got it home, and can't figure out how to open the fuel door. We've scoured the entire car looking for the button that opens it. We can't find any free schematics or owner's manuals online. Can anyone here let us know where it is on the car?

We know it is probably staring us right in the face.

TIA

Not too sure but check the floor next to the driver's seat.

Tried the usual place? On the floor next to the drivers seat? Even the passenger side?

It's possible that it is linked to the central locking (if any). Had an old BMW that linked the doors, boot, and fuel cap together on central locking.

Failing that, get into the boot, possibly manual release tag or similar. If none of that works, but you can get into the locking mechanism from the boot, simply use a screwdriver to push back the locking tab and open the fuel door/watch it spring open.

Left side of driver's seat on the floor. Moved one way and the trunk opens. Moved the other way and the fuel door opens. Visit

Chuckle...based on the age of the vehicle, his last one was from before they started doing that!
