Is there a way to open the fuel door from the trunk?

You will first need to remove the plastic piece behind the inner door handle that you use to pull the door shut with and there should be a 10mm bolt inside there behind the insulation. The plastic cover behind the inner door lever handle will need to come out. It's only in with clips. Remove the reflective lens on the end of the panel and you will see a phillips head screw inside. It's a long screw so be ready for many turns to get it out. Next, your power window controls will need to come out and they are only snapped into place but be careful with them because plastic prongs can be broken off if not pried out in the right direction. The same goes for the door lock switch. Unplug both once out. You will also see a triangle plastic piece (can break easily) towards the front top side of the panel. Make sure it clears it's way out when removing the panel. The rest of the panel is held up with downward facing plastic clips. Sounds hard but really it's all pretty simple. Study the back of the panel before putting it back on and take your time.

Check your power to your fuel pump. Put your ear to the filler for the gas and get someone to turn on the key, do not crank.. You should here the fuel pump cut on. If not suspect pump problem. You can also take the lin loose at the fuel filter and check to see if gas comes out after key is turned on and work your way to the engine if you get gas there just follow the lines.

SOURCE: HOW DO CHANGE A FUEL PUMP ON A 93 LINCOLN MARK 8

Removal & Installation See fuel pump under fuel tank in this section.

CAUTION Fuel injection systems remain under pressure, even after the engine has been turned OFF. The fuel system pressure must be relieved before disconnecting any fuel lines. Failure to do so may result in fire and/or personal injury.

1. If equipped with air suspension, the air suspension switch, located on a side panel of the trunk compartment, must be turned to the OFF position before raising the vehicle.
   
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
   
3. Relieve fuel system pressure using the recommended procedure.
   
4. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
   
5. Remove the fuel tank from the vehicle and place on a suitable work bench.
   
6. Remove any dirt that has accumulated around the fuel pump retaining flange so it will not enter the tank during pump removal and installation.
   
7. On 1988–94 models, turn the fuel pump locking ring counterclockwise and remove the locking ring.
   
8. On 1995–00 models, remove the retaining bolts around the perimeter of the fuel pump module.
   
9. Remove the fuel pump/sending unit assembly. Remove and discard the seal ring.
   

1. Clean the fuel pump mounting flange, fuel tank mounting surface and seal ring groove.
   
2. Apply a light coating of grease on a new seal ring to hold it in place during assembly and install it in the seal ring groove.
   
3. Install the fuel pump/sending unit assembly carefully to ensure the filter is not damaged. Make sure the locating keys are in the keyways and the seal ring remains in the groove.
   
4. Hold the pump assembly in place and install the locking ring finger-tight. Make sure all the locking tabs are under the tank lock ring tabs.
   
5. Rotate the locking ring clockwise until the ring is against the stops.
   
6. Install the fuel tank into the vehicle.
   
7. Lower the vehicle.
   
8. If equipped with air suspension, turn the air suspension switch to the ON position.
   
9. Add a minimum of 10 gallons of fuel to the tank and check for leaks.
   
10. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
    
11. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position several times to pressurize the fuel system. Check for fuel leaks and correct as necessary.
    
12. Start the engine and check for leaks.
    
13. Road test the vehicle and check for proper operation.
