ABSTRACT:
A tank cover for a tank socket of a vehicle fuel tank has a flap and a pivot arm with a curved portion having a first and a second leg. The first leg is connected to the flap. The second leg includes a hinge component with which the second leg is connected to the vehicle such that the flap is pivotal about a first end. A support surface is positioned adjacent to the curved portion remote from the flap. When the flap is to be mounted, the curved portion rests on the support surface and is pivoted while being supported on the support surface for mounting the hinge component. The support surface, after mounting of the tank cover, is spaced at a preset distance from the curved portion.
