Default Fuel door wont open - Need some advice

Hello!
I've recently gotten an 350z 2006 Roadster model (GT Version)
I do, however got a problem..
The fuel door won't release, I press the button, and the sound goes off that it should be open, but it isn't. I don't really know what to do and need some gas ASAP.
Is there any way I can open this? Is there a emergency opening latch, if so, how do I operate it?
Would really appreciate some answers, thanks.

There's an emergency opening mechanism hidden behind the interior panels in the trunk. A pain to get to, but at least it's there.
Here's a video guide:
