Any Hack to open the metal flap behind the Diesel fuel cap?

[smashy]

Hi all,as above please. Putting the diesel fuel pump nozzle opens it up obviously, the correct size ,but I want to add some Forte additives a good/bad idea for another thread maybe. It will not budge by pushing it with finger or forcibly with say a funnel end,any ideas F30 335d.thanks

Stick VPower diesel in and leave the additives

Have you tried just pouring them in?

I've used additives - Forte & Millers - on various BMW products E83, E81, E87, F25, F54, F56 etc. and the liquid just flows in, never had to 'open the flap'.

Glad it worked! I bought the Ford one for my 335d.
