In short, the door panel is off due to a window switch and regulator repair. Therefore I cannot open the gas door. Is there an emergency latch somewhere that will open the door. I need gas ASAP. Thanks

 

If you open the trunk and look behind the passenger side taillight assembly there is a flap cover. Pull that flap cover open, and look around the innards of the taillight area (focus in the direction toward the "outside of the car" toward the gas door itself) and you will see a silver loop. This is the emergency release for the gas filler door.
