I did it! I was able to pop the gas cap open with out a key!
I've been searching for a stock Standard gas cap, not one of those crappy after market ones. I ended up buying a tank cheap, just for the cap. But no Key.
Those steel strips inside old windshield wipers can be pretty useful. I bent the tip just a little bit to make a tiny tool that will slip under the cap, but able to push the lever. Looking at an other gas cap, I was able to guess the position of the lever mechanism that clips onto that little bar. Slipping the strip under the lock, pushing down on the cap and feeling for the part that moves, I was able to pop the lock.
As for the key, I just open the key barrel an pull the pins so any key works.
