I always hated the vanagon gas cap. I finally went into a junkyard and
looked around and found that a style of mid-90s BMW gas cap style fits
perfectly, is built better, matches the van better than the original,
and has no lock.

Search for a 1995 BMW 540i cap at an online auto parts store, they are
about $15. I think they probably fit other years/models too so any
junkyard ought to have a few.
