The access plate (10) includes an inner plate (14) which has a pair of seal ridges (24, 26) which engage the inner surface of the fuel tank in sealed engagement. The inner plate (14) and an outer ring (16) are secured together by screws (20) which clamp the access plate (10) to the fuel tank (12) and urge the seal ridges into sealing engagement with the fuel tank. The inner plate (14) is provided with ports (54, 62) for movement of fuel to and from the tank and also provides a mount for a combination visual fuel gauge and fuel sender assembly (34).
