There is an emergency release on the gas lock and it may be accessible using the rear light access panel in the bottom trunk panel. I am not to sure about the accessibility part of my statement. Might work if you are an orangutan.
I’ll add a picture of the lock if I can find it. Here is a view in my stripped trunk, you can see the red unlocking latch, I think you pull it to the rear.
