Fuel Door & Components

What is the most opened and closed part of your car apart from your doors? Well, it most certainly has to be the Fuel Cap. They are operated every time you need to pop some fuel into your ride and chances are that you hardly care about its existence until one day when it breaks down and you are unable to refuel. The fuel door is usually mistreated while loading your car up with fuel and the works of the elements do it no favor, eventually requiring you to get a replacement. The hinge is often the most vulnerable part that tends to give out due to rust and corrosion. The latch may also break after repeated use.

The fuel door protects the fuel cap from the prying thieves that may poach your fuel and keeps moisture and dust at bay from the fuel tank. It also adds a bit of detail to the entire look of the cause often the fuel door is styled according to the theme throughout which helps with the appearance. The failing fuel door and its components need to be replaced as soon as possible as they can keep it from opening. Rusted, collision crumbled or any other way damaged fuel doors degrade the appearance of a vehicle. Getting a new fuel door and its components ensure that you are not stuck in the middle of a road without fuel and no way of refueling.

The position of the fuel door is relative to the vehicle, it can be located either to the right or to the left around the rear quarter panel.
