I had a similar problem. To solve it I wedged the release handle so that it stayed pulled up, and then you can pry the cover open. I did that for a while to fill the car, but it's just a duct tape fix.
After about 6 months of that I got tired of it, and went to Ace hardware. You can buy a spring there that you can attach to the screw inside the cover door. Now it pops open as it should. I may have to replace the spring though as it's getting a tad rusty.
