Angry Petrol release flap !

Anyone know how to adjust the fuel release flap on a newage?

Mine is starting to stick, can pull on the remote release and can see the little door moving open, let go of the remote lever and it closes again !

Starting to get very tricky to fill the car up !!

Mine was doing the same after the Winter, gave it all a good clean and spray with WD40, works perfectly now.

Know what you mean about being tricky at fill ups, my arms aren't long enough to pull the lever and get the flap at the same time.
