fuel door does not pop open

[nordique14]

Has anybody had a problem with the fuel door not popping open when the fuel door release level is pulled? I used some WD-40 to lube the door thinking that may have been the problem, but it wasn't.

I am currently using a Swiss Army knife to keep the fuel door release level in the "up" position. I can then just get my finger nails underneath the fuel door and open it by hand. Is there a spring or something that might have fallen out?

Thanks,
Matt
