Just a friendly heads up. The pin the the fuel door hinge on Nissans tend to bind up and bend making the door become difficult to impossible to close. I periodically spray it with WD-40 and never a problem. The road salt helps to gum it up more easily. My brother had the hinge twist and the door moved over 1/4 inch and didn't fit in the opening and chipped up the paint.

My door wont stay shut, it's like the hinge spring lost tension.

Thanks, I need to start doing that. Mine has already been replaced once when it was under warranty but now that it's out I don't want that to happen again.

I had mine replaced in late 08, and it's loose again. Called Nissan and they have ordered the part to fix it (again) under warranty. Thank God for drive-thru service!!

There is a little flat spring mechanism that pops off of its mount in the middle of the hinge, and causes a loss of tension on the fuel door. You can pull the fuel door off and reset the spring... It will be like new!

Just look at a properly set spring so you know where it sits.
The spring is about $4 if it's missing.

There is a problem right^^ please through that crap in the trash and start using a lubricant. I hate how WD40 is advertised as a penetrating lube/ lube/ de-greaser, the truth is it was designed to displace water Water Displacement 40 and it is a crappy lube worthless as a penetrating lube but decent as a de-greaser which is why whatever it touches ends up rusting or wearing prematurely unless you apply that garbage as you say "periodically".
