Doesn't your fuel door lock when you lock your vehicle?

No, but I recall that all you have to do is remove right side trunk trim and find the yellow hose going to the lock.
Disconnect it at the Y and blow/suck on it till the lock releases.

George, with this lock down in place you really should slow down, take the time to read the post. It will help pass the time; unless you want to come to my house and help chain saw about one acre of trees.

I AM slowed down, and I haven't left the house in 3 weeks.
Sorry - me and chain saws don't agree, I ain't afraid of nothing, but they scare the s**t out of me.

You get this kind of trouble when someone adds a post in thread that is about something else. The original thread died last October.
People add things where they do not belong or start multiple threads on the same problem. I tend to ignore such threads many of which come across as demands that someone else solves their problem without saying please or thanks and often ever come back with the result.

Thread morphing, a new term for the problems associated with forums and CoVid-19? Maybe I can copywrite it? ROTFLMSAO!

If you were to really read what I said you would realize that I am not talking about you in most of the remarks. Confusion occurs when threads contain new questions that are nothing to do with the thread title and yours is typical of such a post.
Negative thinking on your part caused you to jump to the wrong conclusion.
