I've got the same problem w/ my '92. I pull the release and then use the metal part of my key to pry the door open. Quite easy actually.

The most likely reason the door is not "popping" open is the spring is probably missing or broken. It is a little tiny spring.... P Adams can probably link you to a picture of it. Cheap too.

on the inside of the gas tank door there is a little spring that is supposed to push the door open when u release it, u can bend it out so that is will push the door harder open, don't bend it to where it breaks off though
