Ram makes a plastic cap with a tether strap.
Their cap fits snug and overlaps the outside lip of the fuel fill neck. If water gets on or near the cap it should run off the outside of the fuel fill neck.
The aluminum caps look better. I have read of people needing a different size o-ring to make it fit better. Some ship with three o-rings. It really isn't a cap, it is a plug. If the o-ring does not fit snug, water that gets on the cap could still get into the fill neck. I know, there is a second flap in the fill neck to divert water, but I prefer to not depend on it.

That is the one I have been using for almost two years. Like it! Chris
I thought about it as well, but it's more than I paid for the aluminum billet one and doesn't look as good. I will ensure that the o-ring seals well on the billet one; I'm not too worried about water getting in around it.
