I haven't had it fail yet, it is more of a "what if" query.
We do travel to quite remote areas, & I would like to know beforehand what to do if it fails.
Some vehicles have a concealed pull cable.

bigger problem is the D2 bonnet release if you have not got a jack elsewhere

I use the high speed pumps when filling and the larger nozzle knocks the locking mec if not careful.only had a problem twice both times in out of the way places. its a p.i.a. when in a hurry.

I see the fuel filler as bigger issue, someone else will definitely have a jack!

I've never heard of it failing, but anythings possible. You could probably just push the catch flap thing with a flat screwdriver I guess.

mine opens but the pin that holds it shuts failed. looks funny in photos with it all flexed up n the cap open

Mine does it too from time to time.EASY PEASY get the key and poke it into the latch to release,just be careful not to scratch the duco!!!
