If in fact the door works off a solenoid, you will need to open the trunk and on the side of the fuel tank. There should be a nylon disc that is attached to the trim panel . A nylon cord is attached to the disc that you pull to open the fuel door from inside manually for times like this. In the meantime order a new solenoid or clean and lube the plunger, as it might be getting stuck.
