Jab a flat head screwdriver into the key hole and make the thing unlock. Don't just twist it off while it's locked or you could mess up the end of your gas fill tube and those are not cheap. Once you get it off just go and get a new one. Hope this works for you.

I think you should call a lock smith. That would be the most safe. Remember ther is probably gas fumes inside the tank and this is more dangerious that a full tank of gas. Dont start beating on the cap.

My dad was talking the other day about how when thieves see a lock on your fuel filler they just drill holes in your gas tank and put a pan underneath your car. I guess it's good that you just need a locksmith now and not a whole new gas tank!
