Abstract
Provided is a receptacle cap with a simple structure capable of preventing fixation of a receptacle and a filling nozzle. A receptacle cap is configured to be removably attached to a receptacle that connects to a fuel gas filling nozzle. The cap includes a top panel portion that blocks an opening of the receptacle, a skirt portion extending along an outer peripheral wall of the receptacle, and a liquid absorbing portion provided at least on an inner peripheral wall of the skirt portion. The liquid absorbing portion is arranged so as to be in contact with the outer peripheral wall of the receptacle when the cap is being attached to the receptacle.
