Hi Derek,
Unless someone here knows better, I think the only way to get the fuel filler flap off (and back on) is to remove the right-rear wheel arch liner and use a standard socket to undo the two bolts holding the flap (see pic in my first reply - this is a pic from inside the right-rear wheel arch, with the liner removed). You won't be able to access the bolts from the boot.
Removing the liner is a bit of a pain - I think there's five little plastic nuts (likely to be covered in dirt) that hold the liner to the body - you'll need to clean these up and get a socket on them to remove. Then, wiggle the liner out, taking care to avoid damage to the paintwork.
Cheers,
Karl.
