摘要

The cap (1) for a fuel tank is opened automatically using e.g. an electric motor or hydraulic system (2). It may be controlled by a spoken command, via a microphone (14A) or automatically by a sensor which detects when the wheels are stationary. A second sensor (9) detects when the cap is open and produces a signal from a warning device (13).
