I did something similar.

I put the cap on the outside, and then used a 5" bolt (anything 5" would work) and used two cable ties to attached the filler cap to the bolt. The bolt is the long way just like the steel bar above, and each cable tie goes around one of the tabs on the filler cap. It does the same as Shifty's, except you don't have a bolt going through the cap, and all you have to find to make it work is two cable ties and something 5" long.
