Remove gas cap, take to any decent locksmith who will make you a new key for a couple of buck. I'd have two made and keep one somewhere safe.

Your gonna have to unlock the cap to release it from the tank. Try using the stubb on your key ring to twist the part that is stuck. Undo the allen screws (only three actually hold it on) should pop loose...
