Christian,

I imagine you could clean it up, but it's probably simpler to replace 
it. If you want to salvage this, be sure to get a smooth surface where 
the O-ring bears on the cap and the filler opening.

Oh, and also make sure the filler opening is grounded to the engine to 
avoid sparks when fueling up.
