there is a peice in the cap cover that should come next to the release. Its most likely bent and not close enough to the release to stop it from opening. Probally due to the gas cap door not springing open anymore.

If you fix it to get it open all you have to do is put something under your gas door handle so its open then go and push on it to open the door.

I had the same problem with my old coupe. always kept a screwdriver or something to stick bewteen door seal and the edge of the gas door release and trunk release to keep it open when i got gas.
