ABSTRACT:
An anti-spill fuel fill door overlies a fuel fill line access opening in a panel on a body of a vehicle. The door is pivotable between a closed position covering the access opening and an open position, in which the door is located beneath the access opening. The fuel fill door has a fuel catching reservoir such as a tray that catches fuel spilled during the delivery of fuel when the tray is in the open position. When the door is pivoted to the closed position, the spilled fuel drains from the fuel catching tray behind the panel on the body.
