The fuel door has an electrical lock that should only lock when the car is
locked. I have never had any trouble with it but under the plastic cover
on the wall of the trunk which houses a toolkit there is a plastic arrow
shaped tag on the end of a string that that says "pull this" to manually
unlock the fuel door.
Good luck.
