On the H2 the standard fuel intake area is just a port opening with a standard filler tube with cap bolted to the rear fender. To upgrade to a fuel door provides several features that improve function and looks.

These features include:

  • A ball milled chrome fuel door
  • A complete cover for the port opening to produce a flush finish with the fender
  • A lockable cap for security
  • A hinged cap that springs open to allow fuel delivery and a simple push shut to close

This particular H2 Chrome Hummer Fuel Door is made by Pirate Manufacturing and is generally available for $129.00 but can be found for a reduced price at various sources.

One website, h2hummeraccessories.com, offers a plethora of locking Hummer fuel doors in chrome or black with grooved, flat, or SUT stamped finish. The prices for these items range from $170.00 to over $210.hummer-fuel-door

Defenderworx offers another consideration for the H2. Instead of a Hummer fuel door, this company provides a great looking option with a Chrome Fuel Ring. It features a ring of metal that is screwed to the outer fender wall with five stainless screws. The unit is polished to brilliant shine and coupled with a chrome fuel cap provides an inexpensive, but beautiful look.

The H3 standard fuel intake area is an open port whereby you reach in to the fuel cap. At h3hummeraccessories.com there are several styles to choose from to customize the fuel intake area of the H3. The different styles are:

  • H3 Hummer Chrome Billet Locking Fuel Door
  • H3 Hummer Smooth Black Powder Coated Billet Aluminum Locking Fuel Door
  • H3 Hummer Chrome Billet Locking Fuel Door Grooved
  • H3 Hummer Grooved Black Powder Coated Billet Locking Fuel Door
  • H3 Hummer Chrome Locking Fuel Door 6061 Aircraft Grade Aluminum Billet

The greatest benefit derived from the Hummer fuel door besides a classier look is that of the security the fuel door provides. A few years ago when the price of fuel was reaching heights never seen before, there were several incidents of vandalism caused by haters of SUVs and trucks. Some of the vandalism involved dumping sugar or sand down the fuel intake pipe. To answer the call for help among many Hummer owners and dealerships, parts manufacturers designed these locking fuel doors for the H2 and H3 models. So beyond beauty, the strength of utility for this accessory is the security of your engine.

The Hummer fuel door is more than a classy touch. It is a necessity for security.
