Can the fuel door be opened manually?

Default Can the fuel door be opened manually?

I am replacing the motor for the driver power window in my 2000 s70 and have unhooked all the electrical plugs in the door realizing I cannot now open the fuel door. I have tried hooking that particular plug up again and it still will not open, although the trunk opens just fine. Any suggestions before we run out of gas?

Should have a manual release cable in the trunk. Might not be readily visible but on the side with the fuel door, good luck.

THank you so much for the help. I could not find such a cable, though...If it has one, it is very much hidden. I ended up taking off the plastic latch and velcroing the fuel door closed ha! For now, I can get gas! When I finish the window, I will then try to fix the fuel door! Thanks again for the timely reply! Jeff
