STM sells it under oem parts, they call it a gas door pop clip.

I had the same thing happen to me. It was the release latch. It's all plastic and there's this little pin that is supposed to stick out that the cable for the handle in the car retracts when you pull the handle. It wasn't the "popper" which is just a spring om the hinge that pops the lid open after the pin in the latch is retracted. OEM p/n MB023335. Mits call's this a "hook fuel filler lid".

Here you go.

i had this problem.. hope fully the clip is still there and you just have to re-bend it to where it catches the door.

Hopefully no one put anything in your gas tank.

Thanks guys.

Anywhere locally that would have this part? Don't have a Paypal account to buy through STM.

I wonder if a mitsubishi dealership would have something.. or maybe someone parting out on craigslist?

bo0st, I'll buy you one, but only because I had such a good time reading through your AFX ECU thread. PM me your address.

Thanks for the offer, but after looking at the situation again it appears I already have that there.

It's just missing the wiring/connection that lets it open/close.

I'm guessing the dealer would be the only place to have these such little things available? I already tried Autozone and o'reilly

Anyone want to pay for a turbo mani for me ? Jk and bo0st do you have any more pics with the gas door open? I feel like this SHOULD be an easy fix if a kid could break it that easily

You should go back & read my post (#6). This is (was) a dealer item only. The part number in the post & probably about $15. You take the center back then passenger side plastic mold out of the trunk to get to this. Out with the old, in with the new; pop it back together, about 15-20 mins to do.
