Fuel Door Release

My E90 did this when I lived in WA state after some freezing rain. The solenoid wasn't strong enough to overcome the frozen water around it and wouldn't retract. I got...angry...and got it open. Never had to worry about that lock again as the pin is just plastic and broke off. Probably pulling the rip cord is stronger than the solenoid is my guess.
