Ok, so I scanned the workshop manual, studied the PET, inspected the car.
Leading evidence: 'Inspect car' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Inspect car' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Question: anybody know how to repair the emergency pull loop that should be available in the door jamb?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Prelude: don't let your wife drive your 911. Oops, that was rude. I meant don't let my wife drive your 911.
I let her take it a couple of days ago, she hadn't driven it for a couple of months, my fault for having the fuel low. She stopped for gas, and couldn't figure out how to get the hinged lid open. So she asked various people at the gas station for help, instead of calling me. Car came home with the emergency pull (in the passenger side door jamb) now in the glove compartment and no gas cap at all. The cap was loose, the tether was already broken, but she left it at the station.
Ordered a cap and will install it with the tether.
For now, I removed the little black triangular clip on the hinged door, to totally disable the electronic locking of the hinged door. (Nobody pours sugar down the gas filler or siphons gas out anymore, right?). But I just hate to go down this road of having little things be incorrect on the car -- a slippery slope.
Question: anybody know how to repair the emergency pull loop that should be available in the door jamb? I've been through the workshop manual, and couldn't find anything relevant. It looks like: remove the right front wheel well liner and try to get access from below. But it looks tight for my fat fingers. I don't mind doing this work, since I think the charcoal vent canister needs replacing, since I can't get more than about 14 gallons in during a fill up.
Thanks!
So parts diagram makes it look fairly simple after removing fender well. The e-pull cable must be broken...huh? Looks like e-pull attaches in behind the locking nib that the actuator runs. Hopefully the actuator/rod/nibby part is not destroyed! So the "gas station experts" didn't think of just pushing the fuel door open??
Parts diagram below. Good luck!:

Ok, so I scanned the workshop manual, studied the PET, inspected the car.
But just now I tried a general google search, and up popped a DYI for this exact thing on Renntech:
"
Replacing the Gas/Fuel Door Actuator

Yay, this will be helpful.
For more articles on the same subject, Google search on "996 fuel door lock".
