What is that red ring in my trunk?

[Fraysa]

Inside my trunk (2013 sport back) in the left compartment

I have a red ring coming from somewhere I can’t tell. Does anyone know what is it?

I believe when you pull it it's a manual release for the fuel flap.

Makes sense. Do you know where is it suppose to be located originally? It just flaps around in the trunk compartment.

In my car the fuel flap is on the drivers side(right), and this red ring is clipped in behind a removable flap on the right hand side of the boot.

Mind taking a photo of it clipped in when you can?

Sure.....unless somebody beats me to it meantime.
