    has anyone had a problem with their fuel door? It was fine when I opened it but when I closed it it went up and out. Something pushed it all over the place. How do I replace the door?

    Drill the rivets holding it on I assume. The fuel door is the cheapest made part of these trucks :annoyed:

    Just lubricate its hinge once in awhile, and you'll never have an issue.

    Since I posted this I’ve seen the rest of the threads. Wow this is a common problem.

    The same thing happened to me as well. Bent it back and lubed it. It's fine now.

    I think that is what happened. That got bound up and pushed it out.

    It easily adjustable, back into position. Just take your time doing so.

    This is usually the issue, the leash gets pinched and bends the thin hinges.
