Having owned a Spyder for 15 years I have a little experience with center-fill. Yes, some water will get in if you drive in the rain or wash your car. But which of you Californians will ever do either?
I did the doggie bowl with drain on my first car. It works and keeps it all out, yes. But honestly there isn't that much that gets in, even if you drive in the rain. Haven't installed the bowl on the new car yet after 2 years.
And if you tow, just blue tape over the whole deal and you're good.
Greg drills a hole in the bottom of the trunk and a small towel will get whatever may be around the filler neck.
