I had a 96 XJ6 and if the 2000 XJ8 is like mine, there is no inside release. The fuel door should have a small lip so you can open it with your finger. Doors need to be unlocked however.

Good luck

Mike

Also make sure the key is not in the ignition or it may throw a CEL.

But yes Mike is correct, doors unlocked it should just lift up.
