There are a few "generic" replacement sensors available. Each manufacturer has their own specifics, some manufacturers have changed design several times already. As someone mentioned, Ford originally had sensors banded to the rim, but now use valve mounted ones.
In the near future we will hear more about failed sensors. The design life of the early ones was only 5 years, and we are now 9-10 years out. The newer systems are supposed to last 10 years.
Some of the car manufacturers (IE Chrysler) have made the system easy where you can just replace a faulty sensor and the vehicle will relearn the new one by itself. Others you need to go through a relearn sequence. And then most of the Asian manufacturers you have to go into the factory programming to get a different sensor to work. (A programmable generic sensor can get you around that.)
As to the valve cap, yes they are a secondary seal, but I would not count on a plastic cap holding any pressure. No the missing cap would not have affected your warning light.

And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
