It's five pieces, and you need them all.

They're all plastic and available from dealer, likely quite inexpensively

Hmm...I need to replace the same part, but mine doesn't look like that schematic. My tank is shaped like a propane tank, only smaller, and the cap is rubber with a dipstick built in to it. The rubber cap kind of snaps over a rib in the filler hole and that's what holds it in place, I don't think its threaded.
I figure its a dealer part.
If I get one from the dealer, I'll post back on price, etc.

Mine is shaped like your's also. That is W123 style that we have. maybe the pic is W124.
There are 2 caps. One is the dipstick you describe, and the provided pic is the fluid lines with seal and filter that unscrews from the top.

Thanks, but I found a new one for $14.50 at mbz . org, which is apparently also the seller in the link you provided.
