Inside the trunk on the same as the gas door there is a plastic round cover.
Remove this cover and reach inside. There you should feel e kew wires and cables.
One of these cables is covered in foam. This is the cable for the gas door latch.
Pull on this cable until the door unlatches but not too hard as to pull it right out.
You do have to use some sufficient force, so don't be shy when doing this.
