<p>An automotive vehicle has a body (12) with an external surface (14), a fuel tank filler pipe (26), and a fuel tank cap assembly (18) comprising a plug (24) sealingly engageable with the fuel tank filler pipe (26) by insertion into the filler pipe (26) to a rotatively fast sealing position, a cover (28) carried with the plug (24) that substantially blends with the body external surface (14) when the plug (24) is in the sealing position, and a latch mechanism (30) carried with the fuel tank cap assembly (18) operable without rotation of the cover (28) to permit the assembly (18) to move from the sealing position to a release position displaced from the body external surface (14), the latch mechanism (30) also being operable in the release position through rotation of the cover (28) to permit the assembly (18) to move from the release position to a free position disengaged from the filler pipe (26). <IMAGE></p> |
