Genuine Toyota spring for the fuel filler lid hinge on LandCruiser models.
Allows the fuel door to pop open correctly when the release lever is pulled.
This genuine Toyota spring is fitted to the fuel filler lid hinge and is responsible for opening the fuel flap when the release is activated.
Over time these springs can:
- Lose tension
- Rust or break
- Fall out during repairs
When that happens, the fuel door will no longer open properly and may need to be manually pulled open.
Replacing the spring restores correct operation and factory feel.
