Remove the entire panel (3 screws once you have the lid open), clean and grease the hinge and make sure the cable is pulling the latch.

You may have to remove the seat aswell, but thats just 2 bolts.

Press down on the flap and at the same time alternately press the seat open then fuel release till the flap opens.

And when you get it open, add a bit of gorilla tape or some such to the lid to help later on. My access door is a bit recalcitrant, and always has been, but a bit of something to grip makes it a non-issue.
