Use a flat head screwdriver or flat blade and pry the fuel door open. The door is held shut by a spring clip towards the rear. You might be able to pry it open just using a key.

I hit a rock in the road banged up the gas tank alittle and the foor now it shut off and wont start but cranks over

Not sure what car you have, but some cars have an inertia switch that shuts off the fuel pump in an accident. Check you manual to see if your car has one and where it is so you can reset the switch.

Gas tank door wont open

90% chance the cable is streched...so...this is what you do....take a small pair of needle nose pliers.....locate the cable that is on the plastic handle...it's gonna have a little metal crimp on it....and simply pull on it...that should release it for ya....hopefully the cable isn't broke...they normally just strech
