Default Fuel cell gas door pics

I am putting a fuel cell under the bed of my truck and need some ideas for the filler door. Anyone have pics to give me a few ideas?

I recently installed one of these on a show truck i'm working on


With one of their caps that doesn't require removal to fill with fuel.

He's just joking, I didn't have time to do a correct one so I just rigged something up, it's not permanent, just there to hold over till I figure out something better. It looks like a *****, turns on the ladies though!!

Bump anymore pics? This is my fuel cell. It has a flush mounted cap on it so i was thinking of making some kind of fuel door so i can open it and reach my hand inside to unscrew the cap. But the bed floor is ribbed so it would be had to incorporate something that looks clean.

In your case I would just cut a square piece out of your bed, maybe 6" x 6" and then screw on a hinge to that piece and re-attach it. That way you don't have to get any expensive type of fuel filler door.
