Look on the right side of your car, fairly close to the top door hinge, and you'll see the fuel filler flap. The lever to open it is in the glovebox. Push the lever down and the flap SHOULD spring open. Assuming it does, the cap then just screws off. If it isn't a locking type you may need a pair of pliers if it's been a while as the cork seal may have stuck to the cap and filler. It rotates to the left. You might try putting just a THIN layer of grease, silicone grease or petroleum jelly on the seal of the cap or lip of the filler neck.
