    Does anyone have this issue if your fuel door scraping when opening? I have never put any pressure on it or bent it.. one day it just starting rubbing when I would fully open it. It’s bothering enough to where I want to know if others have this issue?

    Known issue when the hinge isn't maintained by cleaning and greasing.

    Unless it’s bent or damaged, like others said just grease the hinges. I used a Q-tip dipped in grease to get in the hard to reach spots. No problems since.
