open the drivers side door.. in the doorway/panel, there is a little knob in a cut out groove.. pull on the knob and the gas door should pop right open.

Haha, yes...there's a compartment on top of the vertical flipdown compartment. I shouldn't make this so easy on you...took me 3 months before I found out. I found out from this website.

And yeah...pull the seat ejection tab next to your driverside door sill and seat. After you fly 30ft in the air...your gas cap will open up. Hehe...congrats on the purchase. Enjoy it, and don't be a victim of that nasty snap oversteer!.
