fuel cap/central locking problem

My fuel cap/flap wont unlock with the rest of my car, and I really need to stick some petrol in it. Is there way way of opening it by bypassing the central locking?

please?

pull the carpeting back behind the fuel door in the trunk, i'm pretty sure you can manually move the lock

the same thing happened to me! what I did was I removed the backseat, plugged the lines connected to the vacuum pump into a compressor and everything opened. turns out my vacuum pump was busted
