Does the Fuel Filler Door have a manual release?

[Torque wrench]

Does anybody get the back of their hand cut on a little plastic clip on the back of the fuel door when removing the gas nozzle ??

No, but there was a thread about that issue that went quickly downhill.
Are you left handed?

I pull the nozzle out with my left hand. It looks like I took a meat cleaver to the back of it !

Since the fill door is on the left side, it really helps to train yourself to use your right hand (if capable) to handle the nozzle. It's also supposed to be good for the brain function, if you are a lefty.

many cars have this feature/problem. When my wife’s Mini locks her car so does the filler door I guess to keep people from stealing gas. However if something fails, you have to go through the trunk to open it.

Jeeps dont have this

I created this handy video showing the emergency release function on the Gladiator. This may also work on the Wrangler but I cannot confirm

What if the glove box latch fails?
