HELP!! Gas tank cover won't pop open and I'm almost out of fuel!!!
I can hear the mechanism move when I depress the release button, and I've tried popping it open manually through the trunk but neither operation has worked!
Any thoughts? It's so cold that I think something may have frozen it shut, and I've been working so much lately that I haven't had a chance to deal with the problem during the day. Do you think warm water might do the trick?
I hope everyone here is doing well!

Single malt scotch.
Pour a little around the edge of the cap and voila! Open cap.
Of course, you can't drive for an hour after that 'cause your TT is "under the influence," but it's a small price to pay.
Other high-alcoholic content beverages will work, but personally, if I won't drink it, the car doesn't drink it

Yeah, I realized that a few seconds after I typed it...
It might loosen the lock but then it would probably just refreeze it. Hey, at this point I just want to get a full tank of gas in the car.
