SOURCE: Emergency fuel door release for 2000 Volvo S80
Copied from Volvo Forums
I had a similar problem w
recently bought 2003 S80.Several points: 1) Access your locking selonoid
through the trunk interior panel ... loosen a few hex bolts and slide
out for maintenance; 2) I fixed my lock by simply using light
teflon-based oil (like for bike chains). I exercised it a few times and
it works beautifully; 3) Not sure on your model, but gas door on the '03
unlocks when you push the associated release button under the headlight
control switch. It is not designed to unlock w the key (again, check
owners manual for your year). Hope this helps.

the fuel door on my 2000 S80 is connected with the door locks. In order
for it to open you have to unlock all the doors to the car.

Thanks
Guys,
I removed the locking mechanism and applied a little silicon graphite
and now it works like a charm.

Thats interesting.
Did you fail to plug a connector back in somewhere ?
Is the air filter cover sealed with no air leaks ?
SOURCE: 98volvo c70 how do i open the stuck trunk when key fob, keys, or trunk release button will not work
I don't work on these, but , remove the rear seat, bolted in. or drill out the lock until it can be turned. Being a 98, you will still have to climb in it and release the latch by hand. And it is most likely covered. Break the cover off.
