   Passenger side of the car, right at the front of the engine bay, down in the bottom corner there's a pump. It'll either have a cap directly on top of the pump, or it will have a remote filler tank bit that's attached to the slam panel.
   Edit:
   
   
   That's the remote filler kind.
   The other kind of pump will have a similar cap, it's just fitted directly on the pump.
   Have a look around in the bottom corner and you'll find it
