Default Where is the fuel door lever/button?

Don't mean to sound tarded, but I picked my car up from the port last night and it was dark and I just couldn't find the fuel door release. Where is it!?

LOL! The same thing happened to me when I bought my S! IT is located on the inside of the driver's door, or more accurately, on the upper door sill. It is black and kind of blends in with the rest of the plastic. IT's actually a knob that you pull out. Hope that helps!

bwhahahah - welcome to the s2000 experience.
Next mission - find the secret compartment.

Actually the fuel door release knob you will probably have to open the driver door to find first.
Then run your hand up and down the bit where there is no body paint. As above - it is black and pulls out, at first you will probably think it is related to something else.

You will look like a fool if you wait until you get to the gas station until you go looking for it.

I'm still AMAZED by how many people can take the time to post this question, but fail to take even less time to merely look in the book that comes with the car.. You guys still remember books don't you?

that's ok, I test drove one a couple of months ago and the salesman didn't know where it was. I was laughing like crazy. I drove to the gas station then drove back to the dealership. He got laughed at by all the other salesman. lol

This must be one of the most frequently asked questions on here, if not the most. The other would be the location of the secret compartment, if anyone knew to ask it. Although, when I bought my car used, they didn't have a manual for me the day I drove it home, the top was down and it wouldn't raise up! I found out from a friend that the emergency brake had to be on. So that might be question number 3?

Actually thats where mine was! I had bought the car used, I made them order a new manual for me, then once i found out about the secret compartment i told them nevermind

On a note about the gas lever, also when i bought the car i stood outside the gas station for about twenty minutes trying to figure out how the hell i was going to fill my car up!
