Hello and thank you for using FixYa

The most common thing is that the fuel door is bent. This normally happens from opening the door to far or slamming it. You can try to manually bend it around to try to straighten it. If that does not work, then the gas door will need to be replaced and painted to match you car.

Thanks Jay!

Gas filter for Nissan Altima2006

Like many late model cars the fuel system in this car doesn't use an in line filter anymore, this has been the case since the early 2000's, so there is no part number. The only filter in the system is the fine mess nylon screen at the intake to the fuel pump inside the gas tank.

Pull the emergency cable in the trunk on that side to open the gas door and then heavily spray WD40 into the pin latch that holds the gas door closed.Work it back and forth by pushing it in and out with finger until moving freely

1993 Nissan Altima The security light is blinking and the car wont turn over. it has a good battery. Is the flashing security light preventing the car from turning over?

Yes, the security system shuts power to the starter and fuel pump. You can try disarming by unlocking and locking the doors the power door locks switch (depends on model). Place the key in the ignition and set to ON, ALL doors closed!! Cycle the locks using the power locks button on the driver's door "lock" then "unlock" if this doesnt work, try same method with the ignition OFF. Otherwise your security system is malf.

WHERE IS THE FUEL FILTER ON A 2004 NISSAN ALTIMA

The fuel filter and regulator are located inside the fuel tank. They do not require any maintance. If the fuel pump fails, it will come as a unit including the fuel pump, regulator and fuel filter. One less service item you have to purchase.

Fuel Door will not open on Altima

Try having somebody pull on the gas door as you pull the release inside the car. The black clip you dropped may be a spring to push door open when release is pulled. If that does not work you will have to remove the plastic trim pannel inside the wheel well and unbolt gas door from the back side. That may be difficult if you've never done before. Good luck.
