I have a problem, will woo help?

[vt_native]

the electric fuel hatch door on my car won't open.

[pangaia]

1. never, ever get a car with an electric fuel hatch door.

BTW, what is a fuel hatch door?

[vt_native]

4. the electric locking door over the gas cap

No manual release inside the car.

Thanks Volvo!

[pangaia]

7. Volvos are great.. I guess for about everything else.

Sorry for your pain.
No ideas....

[pinboy3niner]

15. Bad fuel choice. Shoulda gone with WOOd. nt

[mike_c]

2. only if woo ask....

eom

[shraby]

3. Put your tongue on it to warm it up.

[Orrex]

22. That's your answer for everything.

[DirkGently]

5. Have you tried voodoo?

[pinboy3niner]

10. Woodoo voodoo these days?

Wood woo do voodoo?

[pinboy3niner]

6. Hatchback? There's your problem.

You should have gone with a WOOdie.

[U4ikLefty]

8. Only use the manufacturer's Fuel Hatch Opening Tool.

If you use any other method, you will be mocked on DU for the "woo"

Don't give me that you could have used a screwdriver...more woo.

Rinse...then repeat.

[DefenseLawyer]

9. Get right next to it

and in your best Ric Flair voice, yell "WOOOOOOO!"

[rrneck]

11. Maybe it needs lubricating.

[HubertHeaver]

12. Obviously, it is goD"s way of telling

you: on't drive in this kind of weather!"

[nyquil_man]

13. I've got a problem. Can you relate?

I've got a woman callin' love hate...

[Uncle Joe]

14. Is it cold and wet where you are, perhaps it's frozen shut?

Thanks for the thread, vt_native.

[vt_native]

16. an online forum suggested extreme cold can cause these problems

screws up the solenoid, or something like that, I think.

[vt_native]

17. It's not frozen. though

[solarhydrocan]

18. Try this

It worked all the time for Gordon.

[wercal]

19. ScWOOdriver should work

Seriously, take a small screwdriver and carefully stick it in the seam around the edge of the door, where you think it latches.

[pinboy3niner]

20. Check your fuses? nt

[vt_native]

21. Fuse okay

Thanks, though.

[VanillaRhapsody]

25. don't you mean the fWooses?

[2naSalit]

23. Here's the woo answer...

sit calmly in the driver's seat, rub your hands together vigorously while chanting under your breath, "great googly-moogly" five times, then try it again. If that doesn't work, rinse and repeat until your so cold that you conclude that you really don't have to go anywhere in this cold, go inside and wait until it warms up.

Also, is the car battery dead?

[HERVEPA]

24. Try diluting some STP until there is no actual trace of the STP left

then pour it on the electric fuel hatch. I'm sure it will do the trick. If not, try the needles.

[Niceguy1]

26. try tequila

first try doesn't work repeat as needed until the problem is fixed or no longer matters

[Warpy]

27. Yes, wave a lavender crystal over it three times

and then take a thin knife and insert it into the crack and tilt it back and forth while continuing the proper incantation.

It worked on my fuel tank cover even without the crystals and incantation.

Woo is wonderful.

[Vashta Nerada]

28. I suggest acupuncture.

Needles will help open the hatch.

Or check the fuse. Your choice.

[notadmblnd]

29. Check the fuse?
