You might be able to buy the key from VW (they're all the same).
Or it might be just as cheap to buy the whole tank cover with keys (you 
get two) from EuroAmerican RV (is Pete still there?), formerly Delta Six.
That's what I did, between 10-20 bucks as I recall. It was worth it.

Unfortunately, I don't have their number handy. Anyone else out there 
have it?
