I know there's a hole that goes from the top of the tank to the bottom vent underneath, but was wondering if there was anything in the cap at all that could need a clean.
To be honest it doesn't really matter now, i just found a shiny brand new one for £20 so thought i'd tart the bike up a bit as the old one looks so grubby.
It'll mean another key but i'm not really bothered about that. 

Now i do like shiny - but what is so bad about the old one, wont it clean up

Just looks old and a bit battered, and £19.99 delivered is not exactly breaking the bank.

This is what I would do

Drop allen key on tank - and chip tank.
Drop old filler on tank - bigger chip.
Drop new filler on floor - and bust it
Put old filler cap back on.
Spend 1 hour looking for the last bolt that the garage fairies have hidden.
Think - well that was a good 3 hours and 19.99 spent.
On top of that its now raining and I could of spent that 3 hours out on the bike
