Default Can't Open Gas Door From Inside

I have a 2004 Honda Civic that when I was almost on empty
find that I can not get the damn gas door to open from the lever inside
on the left of the driver seat. Is there any emergency cable ?
or do I need to take it to the service , if I can make it.
Anyone help?[>:]

for emergency, use the lever, and use pencil or pen on the cover to pry it open.

now depending on the model that you have, that mechinism has the ability to be locked so that noone can get into your trunk or gas tank from the inside of the car. if you see a key hole around that general area, try that first, otherwise you may have broken something somewhere along the linkage. like was said earlier, pry the cover off and look and see if there is anything unhooked, if you dont see anything, then it would probably be best to take it in for service. let us know what happens though will ya?

Thanks for your help..

Called service and they told me to pull the liner inside the trunk near the gas cap...
lightly turn the cable 1/4 left and out popped the door open..

Real easy...Thanks
