On my 2000 Forester the filler door is opened by putting the index finger of my left hand in the slot at the rear of the door and pulling outward. The filler cap is removed by grasping with the same hand and rotating counter-clockwise. A teather keeps the cap from falling off, but if the teather is broken there is a convenient clip in the fuel filler door to place the cap while refueling. My 2000 Forester has no lid on the fuel tank.
After removing tank from car you can siphon fuel out.
