I apologize for not making my key point clear.

To my knowledge, NOBODY sells just the bung cap, at least,
not for the purpose of sealing a portable gasoline container.

The advantage of a bung cap (for lack of a better name), is
that it would seal as well as the god-awful contraptions you
pointed to, but it would be nice and simple and not break
like this all the time:

Someone suggested we kluge together a cap from separate
components, but, really, there's no reason the cap shouldn't
simply be a single molded piece of plastic, with maybe only
one second part, which would be the rubber gasket.

I'm looking for a cap ... sort of like this:

Only the best will be able to find it on the net because
the *threads* for a gas can are ... um ... what?
