Finally found time to install a fuel door. For those who may be confused as to what door to install, this door is for a 94-99 GMC Yukon/ 99-00 Yukon-Denali-escalade. The outer ring diameter is 6 3/8''. I've have big hands & have no problem getting my hands through the door to the gas cap. I installed a PermaCap11 which makes it's easier again.
A special thanks to BLUEKNIGHT 911 for his invaluable info, & made it a piece of cake to install the door. Thanks again Mike.
Do you have a part number? Also, how did you install it and what kinds of tips do you have? My wife has a 2016 Rt Limtied and we need to install one now that my wife is traveling with her terrier in a pet holder on the back seat. Thanks!

I agree. It's time for me to consider doing this mod on our two bikes so I don't have to lift up the seat (and remove whatever is on it) each time I refuel.
Another question - is there an inner ring part that the door locks onto? I found the fuel door on ebay, but it appears to need an inner ring because the lock flange on the picture of the part they posted doesn't mesh with anything...thanks!

Looks like BLUEKNIGHT911 has sent you his really good info. There is no inner ring. When the door is shut & the key turned to lock the door, the flange uses the thick plastic seat material to lock behind. See post #1 for the door. Manufacturer part # CBK-101BK. I've attached a few photos. Once the door is mounted, I filled in the void with black silastic. To Smooth it off use some watered down detergent or spit on your finger. See photo 3. Fairly easy job, & don't rush it.

Where in Queensland are you located. If close to the Gold Coast, I would not mind having a look if that is OK with you.

Hello Frank, I'm located at Montville [ Near Maleny ] Sunshine Coast hinterland. If your up for it, by all means do come & have a look. Better still, ride up, or take seat off & drive, & I'll fit the door. No charge. Just Good to meet like minded spyder riders. Treva.
G'day UP, yes it probably does matter. I installed the hinge for the door to open from left to right so it wouldn't interfere with the bowser fuel handle. It works a treat, & should be fitted as standard. Treva.
