junkyared.

Put some tape around a small common screwdriver and insert it in the gap at the rear of the fuel door and pry it open.

Then........inside the car, pull the carpet off around the adjacent area to the fuel cap inside the car and look at the cable attachement and see if it's broke there.

There should be a "back up" release lever on the inside of the trunk where the filler tube meets the fuel door. As for where to get one....the For Sale section would also be a place to look.
