Gas cover won't release. What's best way to open it so I can add fuel?

every ford has a manual way of opening the fuel door.have you looked in the trunk yet for the emergency pull cord,same side as fuel door?

Yep, even with all the troubleshooting and repair information available at the shop .. Every now and again I still have to pull out the owners manual for a particular vehicle to find what I need .. ('IF' it's in the vehicle!)
