If not, it's possible that there's a way of releasing the fuel flap from the inside but there isn't anything detailed in the manual, so I guess these sort of procedures I've seen described elsewhere are reserved for cars that have an electronic release (ours officially only has an electronic lock, and you manually unlatch it by pushing it inwards.

With doors unlocked & Solanoid clicking but not opening fuel door procede as follows - use a cut down tapered plastic putty spatula 2cm wide (tapered end) x 10cm approx length - force tapered end between cap & body along top edge which will put doorl under tension - now for the easy bit - press door botton on lower dash - with any luck fuel door will fly open - works on my 2003 xj8
