This may be dumb question,but how in the hell woould water get in there unless you drove around with the gas door open. Think about it, the angle that the door is at ? unless the water travaled up the insisde of the door then fell in the cap opening??? not going to happen.
Now if by some freak of nature that water did get into it wouldn't you see it when the gas door was open before inserting nozzle?

And besides, a 1/2 teaspoon of water puddled above the flap isn't going to have any impact at all when mixed with 19 gallons of gas...

The Water concern is silly..

Those people concerned about water aren't getting the FACT that the install and care directions indicate not to spray water DIRECTLY AT THE gas cap. The key word for those folks is "".

DIRECTLY - In a direct line, way, or manner; straight to.

you'd be surprised. someone will prolly do it just and post something saying water got in the tank during a fill after a car wash.
