Abstract
A fuel filler assembly is retained in a concealed compartment in a closed position. A fuel receptacle linked with the door to the compartment moves together with the door for an angular positioning relative to a vehicle body. The door opening automatically places the receptacle into an inclined position for fuel intake and the door closing brings the receptacle back into the concealed compartment.
