Just in time - the car coasts into the gas station on its last drop of fuel. In order to fill the tank, the driver first has to release the fuel filler flap, usually by pushing a button inside the vehicle. The actual releasing is performed by a small servo motor, several cogwheels and various springs, more than ten separate parts in all.
