About part number LV4B-S27936-L

A fuel filler housing sits behind the fuel flap inside the bodywork panel and surrounds the neck of the fuel pipe. It seals the opening around the fuel cap or capless neck to stop water, dirt and road spray from entering the body cavity, while guiding drainage away safely. When it is working correctly, the fuel flap shuts flush against the bodywork, latches smoothly, and keeps the area around the filler neck clean and dry.

To confirm that this item is correct for your vehicle, you must check that your original part has the exact part number LV4B-S27936-L. On a component of this type, the part number is usually stamped or moulded directly into the plastic body on the back or side of the housing. Matching this number is what decides if the part will fit, as vehicle models and years alone are not a guarantee.

This component is usually replaced if the plastic body has cracked, the hinge mechanism has snapped, or the mounting clips have broken through age and repeated use. When replacing this unit, you often need the outer painted cover panel, fixing screws, and any rubber sealing grommets or release cables if the original items were damaged during removal.

About this kind of part: fuel filler flaps

A fuel filler flap is the small painted door over the filler neck, with its hinge and usually a spring or a damper behind it. On an electric or a hybrid car the same part covers the charging socket and is often larger and electrically released. It is painted to match the body, which is why it is replaced far more often than it fails: the flap sits where people lean, and it is one of the few painted parts a careless hand touches every week.

Why people replace one

  • The flap has been creased or dented, usually by being pushed shut against the filler cap or by a knock at a pump.
  • The hinge has broken or the spring has failed, so the flap no longer stays shut or no longer stays open.
  • The paint has faded or the lacquer has lifted, which shows badly because the flap sits in the middle of a large flat panel.
  • The release mechanism or the electric actuator has failed and the flap no longer opens from inside the car.
  • A rear quarter panel has been repaired and the original flap was damaged in the process.

Fitting it

  • Most flaps unbolt from the hinge inside the filler recess, sometimes with the hinge as one assembly and sometimes as a separate part.
  • On a car with an electric release, the actuator and its loom stay with the car and the flap comes off on its own.
  • The seal or the foam around the recess is worth checking at the same time, because it is what stops water collecting in the bottom of it.
  • A flap is supplied in primer or in the colour it was sprayed when new, and a matching finish needs the paint code from the car's own identification plate.

Making sure it is the right one

  • Match the part number. A petrol or diesel flap and a charging flap for the same model are different parts, and so are the versions before and after a facelift.
  • Check whether yours comes with the hinge. Some models sell the flap alone and some sell it as an assembly, and the hinge is often the part that broke.
  • Compare the curvature against your own panel. A flap is pressed to the shape of one body line and will not sit flush in another.
  • Treat a painted used flap as a starting point for colour rather than a match, because it has aged with the car it came off.

What to look for in the photographs

A Part number — Stamped or on a label on the inner face, often under the hinge.
B Hinge — Whether the hinge is included and whether it is straight. A bent hinge is why most flaps no longer sit flush.
C Spring or damper — The mechanism that holds the flap open or shut. It is often what has failed, and it is sometimes a separate part.
D Inner face — The back of the flap, where water sits and where corrosion starts on a steel one.
E Outer surface — Look across the face at a shallow angle. A crease or a dent in a flat panel this small is invisible in a straight-on photograph.
