    Default Finally found time to install my fuel door!

    DSCN1418.jpg

    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.

    Looks nice - now you are the latest expert installer. I'll need to make a trip to Australia so you can install one for me. *lol*

    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!

    I do not think this will work on the F3.

    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.

    G'day Treva

    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.

    Cheers

    Does it matter where the hinge is located?

    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.
