Lots of good input. Thanks.
I did think about the fact that not being on center will impact how well it turns without tangling. For that reason, I'm liking the small eye-hook in the center option. However, I'm not sure if that center is solid plastic or if there's some hidden venting system going on under the surface, so I'm a little hesitant to just start drilling down from the top.
I like the idea of the pull-chain as the material for the tether. I'm also thinking maybe some old phone cord or speaker wire, and yes, heavy monofilament weed hacker/fishing line would work.
My research (Subaru forums) has shown that that Universal tether thing won't work on this cap.
It's a threaded cap...turn 'til it clicks, but you can keep turning. (see pic)
I also thought of eliminating the tether altogether and using velcro on the top of the cap and inside the fuel door as a way of sticking it somewhere while fueling. Or maybe gluing a couple of very small neodymium magnets in the recesses on either side of the center of the top of the cap.
