Abstract

A device for closing an access opening in a motor vehicle outer skin, especially a tank access opening, having a closure flap that swivels from a closed position into an access position. The closure flap closes essentially flush with the motor vehicle outer skin in the closed position and the closure flap is mounted in such a manner as to be displaceable essentially orthogonally with respect to the motor vehicle outer skin and swivelable about a swivel axis that is essentially orthogonally oriented with respect to the motor vehicle outer skin.
