Most I've seen have a loop on the rear of the cap which can be used to attach some kind of wire retainer - that's what I did, just rang
the manufacturer and they sent me a "solution" FOC.
P.S. Welcome to the forum

I thought the fuel cap only had to be tethered if it wasn't lockable with the ignition key

It has to be tethered if the key can be removed when unlocked. Mine is on a bath plug chain. Quite honestly it looks rediculus but it does the job.

Quote from manual:
The fuel filler cap must either be tethered to the vehicle or be of a lockable type where the key can only be removed when the cap is locked or an
automatically opening and closing, non-removable fuel filler cap
So it need to lock or be tethered.
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Some (certainly older) lockable ones can have the key removed when they are unlocked so require a tether.
The rule seems to be worded to avoid careless people driving off with the cap on the pump and an open tank potentially sloshing fuel over the
forecourt and road.
