Question Cessna killer caps, or not?

I've been reading on US based forums about the 'extreme dangers' of the Cessna 172 and 182 (and perhaps others) recessed fuel caps allowing water to ingress whilst parked outside. The type where you flick up the little lever, and then turn-open the cap (similar to many Cirrus) - also known as 'lift and turn' I think. Cessna even produce an upgrade kit to save yourself from certain demise.

But, nothing at all here or anywhere else in the UK.

Now, given that rain is not unknown on this fair isle - what's the deal?

Fly safe! Sam.
