Gas Cap Cover

[NVR STUCK]

I think I remember seeing a gas cap cover plate that said Hummer on it somewhere on the board. I did a search and could not find anything. I asked my dealer and he said it does not exist. Can anyone help me out. Where can I get it.

Thanks Hummer Man. I thought I was going nuts. I knew I had seen it on the board. How does it mount? Is it the same as the other brands? It would appear to be a brushed aluminum?

[HeeHaw]

Hey Hummer man. I AM INTERESTED! By the way, is it hard to put on? Just wondering.

I'll Take one

HeeeeeeeeHawwwwwwwwwww

[Hummer Man]

Very easy 5 minute installation three screws. You still use your Factory Fuel cap and tether.

Chrome plated finish and I'm there. This is the best cover yet. I guess it is worth waiting sometimes.

HummerMan, I guess it is safe to say that it is metal and not abs plastic? It looks awful "molded" like. Let us know the finish options.

[MAC]

That is one very handsome gas cover, matches the factory wheels. Plastic or metal? BLACK???

[Hummer Man]

Thanks to the 75 -100 request I have gotten regarding the fuel door cover. Continue to Email me with your request if you have not done so already. I will have complete information soon on locking mechanism. The finish will be in two styles. Polished CHROME and a BRUSHED finish version. Please be patient and I will answer each one of your Emails.

[Harry Leitner]

Hello,

I was directed to this website thru an email from a customer inquiry. My name is Harry Leitner from AMP Research. Our company manufactures the fuel door pictured for the Hummer H2, as well as for the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Mazda Miata, Ford Bullit Mustang, Excursion, Expedition, etc...We are the OEM supplier for our PATENTED fuel door to many of the OEM's (MAZDA, Ford, Dodge/ Mopar, Mercedes, etc).

I have looked at the Elcova site and found great information on everything Hummer owners are looking for, and great real life feedback. I do not own an H2 yet, but will purchase one in the next few weeks.

There are a few concerns I have regarding the post from Avalanche and HummerMan:

1) These pictures were taken from a confidential release to selected distributors/OEMS/ press agents.

2) I am not sure how they were posted,who posted them, or how they obtained them, but due to the nature of the internet, it is not a surprise to me.

3) AMP Research is not associated in any way with "Hummer Man" or "Avalanche", to the best of my knowledge. I am not aware of their real name, so I can't say for sure...

4) HummerMan has made significant claims regarding our future fuel door for the H2. None of them are accurate!

Please be very careful on who and what you believe on the internet. I do not want to say that "HummerMan" is dishonest, but in this instance, the information he has given, his claim that he will have them by mid March, his price and finish specifications are completely inaccurate/ false!

AMP Research prides itself in being a cutting edge design, engineering, and manufacturing facility that provides innovative solutions to the Aftermarket and OEM automotive industry. ALl our products are engineered to OEM specs and tested to OEM corrosion and durability standards. Our fuel door is patented (multiple times), and has been copied by numerous companies...many examples of fuel doors which infringe on our patent are found on this site, EBAY, and other locations. We have now put an effort in to stop this as many customers think their door is manufactured by us and their quality or engineering is significantly inferior!

I hope this explanation serves as valuable information. It is not intended to discredit any members of this forum. I sincerley like reading posts in various forums to learn more about specific products, especially Elcova.

Thank you again!

Sincerley,

Harry Leitner
ampinfo@amp-research.com

[Mega Boris]

<--- speechless..

I'm sure hummer man and avalance aren't trying to do anything dishonest. Just bring a new product forward. But if this is the Case Mr. Leitner, maybe you could provide some information for us on your fuel doors as there are plenty of interested people here.

[Harry Leitner]

I am more than happy to assist people in answering their questions and concerns. I am hesitant to post specific info regarding the Alloy Fuel Door for the H2 but here are some helpful hints:

1) The fuel door will not be available for retail sale for another 6-8 weeks, mainly because we are waiting on tooling. We have injection molded a whole new plastic fuel cup. The cup will come attached to the fuel door; hence installation literally takes 2 minutes (snap in design after removing the stock fuel cup).

2) Finishes are not determined yet, but polished chrome will certainly be one of them

3) The door is manufactured from billet aluminum.

4) Price is not determined yet, but will be competitive.

5)Again, we designed the door to OEM specs; hence the Hummer Logo. It is not certain if this will be in the production unit.


The door pictured is a stereo lithography prototype out of ABS plastic...not the real billet version.

I have attached an actual version of the first actual unit with an anodized satin finish.

Again, I stated in the first post that I am not accusing anyone of doing anything dishonest...I was just very curious how I could receive 30 emails in one day regarding our H2 fuel door when we had not made anything public yet. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I will keep forum members posted on which distribution channels the Fuel door will through.

Thank you again and Best Regards,

[Colo. H2]

Mr. Leitner, will the OEM gas cap still work with the new moulded cup?

[Harry Leitner]

Yes Sir! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Big Z]

Thanks for the info Harry. Will there be a locking door also?

[Harry Leitner]

The door you see is locking...but not visible to the untrained eye http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif. However, we have not done enough market research if we should add a locking mechanism or not. From looking at various posts last night, it seems most people prefer locking. However, the cost is increased...

Unfortunately, I will not have anymore time today to post or reply to inquries.

Thanx again to everyone for their questions/ feedback...my email is going to explode soon! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Klaus-I agree, a black locker would be perfect!

[H2 Bill]

Klaus, I too agree! Black for those of us that are not into the Billet look. Maybe Harry could add this to their production...shouldn't be too hard to do. Put me on the list for a black one that locks!

I remember I came across their site because they were mentioned in the last MotorTrend SUV edition magazine.
http://www.amp-research.com/store/fueldoor.htm (AMP-Research alloy fuel door)
Somebody shaved off a good chunk of that market already with a first to market product. I bought one and I think I overpayed for the quality I got. Scary that there internal prototype picture made it out to the Internet.

The only way they can catch up now is by producing a better product.

[hinten]

Let me try that again.
amp fuel door (http://www.amp-research.com/store/fueldoor.htm)

[Harry Leitner]

o.k...I know I said I didn't have time to post anymore but...

I appreciate all feedback from real life H2 owners; it will all find it's way into production. Also, the concern regarding the snap in design was not explained by me thouroughly enough: As you know, the stock fuel cup "snaps and twists in" as well, then is secured by the 3 bolts to the fuel funnel. Our design is identical, however, we had to redesign the cup to prfectly fit with our door so no modifications would be necessary.

Thanx again for all the feedback!

Regards,

[ktower_heels]

Harry,
Any talk about GM picking up your product for the 2k4 model?

[bklynh2srock]

Harry-

Please consider a lock as at least an option. In November and December, one of the longest threads and oft-discussed topics was which locking gas cap fit the H2. With all of the whackos out there, many of us felt unsafe without one. A good portion of us ran out and got them (do a search for Stant and you'll see what I mean!). We (Peter and I) wouldn't consider a cover unless it was locking.

I like the idea of black as well. Thanks for stopping by . . .

[Happy Hummer]

Harry,

Please make these doors in BLACK and LOCKING. It was mentioned before about all the nuts out there, but think of it this way...it might save a life if one of these freaks try to pour something in my gas tankhttp://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/laser.gif .

I also want to clean up the look of the gas filler area, but will not put more chrome on the truck. In fact I bought all the black adventure series parts to switch out my chrome pieces.

Thanks,
ROB

Harry Leitner and I had a wonderful phone conversation today. Please refer to his post for all specifications and availability time frames. Where ever any of the information I provided is in conflict with his please except his as having the correct facts since he is the manufacturer. In closing I can tell you this is the finest fuel door cover that will be made for the H2 - from a looks, operation, installation and value Harry has hit a homerun!

Hats off to his company for taking the time to listen to H2 owners!

Regards, Hummer Man

[AUBURN H2]

The same person that is selling the Chrome Gas door on Ebay, has the exact same door available in a BLACK powder coated finish that looks AUsome on a truck with no chorme.

[MAC]

I don't quite understand something here. If Harry says he is the only legit gas door maker with lots of patents, but they only have a plastic mock up and not yet start the production yet, how come we all have seen so many very similar Gas doors sold by so many different vendors on eBay and on other websites for many months already?

[Mega Boris]

Sell one in a black finish and with a locking mechanism and i'll pick one up http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[ctrask]

The gas cap cover with HUMMER mechined in, shown on this board previously, is on my H2. It was produced by AMP Research in Irvine to pitch to GM for H2 OEM. The AMP "fuel door" will be available through SMA soon. It will have the look of the stock wheel, but will not have HUMMER on it. AMP can't violate the copyright until they receive permission from GM. SO I HAVE THE ONLY ONE!!!! NANNA NANNA NANNA! All I had to do was let AMP use my truck to finalize some prototype work.

[hinten]

Hey Harry,
your fuel door is certainly making the rounds. Are you going to sell direct now? Is your Marketing guy selling these on the side?
What's going on?

[HHummer]

Really would like to have a black one. Hope it is posted the minute it is available.

[Tucson Beast]

Mr. Leitner - Many of us have the need for a black color as well as those who like metal (chrome or brushed). The H2 offers the Lux and Adven package for H2 - the Adven package is black, so there are plenty of black gas caps out there on our H2s - I know a lock cap would be wonderful given the potential for people to destroy cars by dumping stuff (sugar) down gas tanks of costly rigs like our H2. Will wait for information for your product

Thanks

[MAC]

I still don't know why Harry claimed to be ONE & ONLY LEGAL gas door without making a product and nothing to sell, while so many others have been selling similar gas doors for months. Is Harry only refering to the HUMMER logo? or he was the only one bothered to apply for patents? No disrespect to Harry, cause he seems like a knowledgeable gentleman and professional; but it happens often, the copycat went to the patent office first, ended up closing down the original designer.

[JohnnyBoy]

It' still unclear if Harry will be offering his gas cap with the Hummer logo. I'm only interested in it if it has the Hummer Logo. If he can't produce with that logo, then I'll get get one of the ones that are kicking around right now. Let us know about that logo Harry. Thanks.

[Harry Leitner]

Hello again,

I do not want to over post regarding this subject, but want to make everyone clear on what we plan to do regarding our Alloy Fuel Door for the H2:

1) Patent issues: Yes, we hold numerous patents on our Alloy Fuel Door design, the major one being US6352295. The Alloy Fuel Door on the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Dodge RAM, Mazda Miata/ M6, Chrysler PT Cruizer,Ford Bullit Mustang and F-Series trucks, Mercedes M-Class, Chevy Silverado/ Avalanche, and many others are all AMP Research produced products and the majority are OEM products supplied directly to the automotive factories. The Alloy Fuel doors you see on Ebay, including the ones for the H2, are all knock offs. There is one company who does not infringe on our patent that does make an H2 fuel door (fueldoors.com). The companies producing infringing profducts have been advised and are being halted from producing/ selling.
We are not trying to halt competition; however, the blatant copies out there are dificult to distinguish at first from our Alloy Fuel Door and we do not want cheap knock offs to be associated with AMP Research. We spend a considerable amount of time engineering and making sure our products pass all OEM quality standards, like corrosion and durability. I am sure that many H2 owners can attest that the other fuel doors that they have bought do not even come close.

2) The feedback I have received on this site has been very valuable...looks like we may have to offer black, either black chrome or powdercoat as an option.

3) The Hummer Logo was machined into the first prototypes since they were being sent straight to GM...unless we receive the license for the Hummer logo (which looks very promising), it will not be included in the production door. We may include "AMP Research" or leave it it blank...

4) Again, thanx for the input. I am not knowledgeable about what exactly the H2 owners want, but I am getting a better idea.

Thank you and regards,

Harry Leitner

P.S. Thank you to the owner of the site (Jason) for his email!

[SoCalHummer]

Let me know when you have these available. I want one !!!! Only if it is available in chrome and with the Hummer Logo on it like in the picture.

AMP Research is not associated with Hummer Man and he will not be selling the AMP Research Alloy fuel door...his claim that he will have them by Mid-March is not true.

The person selling the chorme gas door on ebay also has a black powder coated door available, it looks great. If you want something that locks, go with the locking stant gas cap and don't put that ugly lock on the outside of a nice smooth door. It just ruins the look and the cap serves the same purpose. I am sure you remember the old days when you had to use a key to get in your car, before keyless entries were standard features. Think about all those scratches around the key hole where you missed the first time or other keys on your key chain scratched the surface. Do you really want a bunch of scratches on your new chrome or black door. I went with the chrome and it is perfect.

[SoCalHummer]

I read all the information on the thread here and understand that AMP Research is supposed to have the fuel door. My comment was not meant to be misconstrued as being directed at any one person......it was however, pointed at this thread and the opportunity to purchase one...assuming it would be available with the Hummer logo that matches the OEM wheels. If AMP research is the manufacturer, perfect.........however if another legitimate manufacturer produces one.....I will purchase it when available. I am not really interested in the arguments posed that are related to patent infringements since I have dealt with many of my own patent infringements in days past. I am simply a potential customer to someone who produces a product of my liking.

Thank you for your time

I am interested in a black cover with locking, but having another key sounds like a pain. It would be great if it was possible to have a button inside that popped the gas door open or unlocked it. The button might go under the light switch in the blank there.

Seems like the gas door discussion on the one with the Hummer logo has died....Did Amp Research give up on it ?

What ever happened to this particular fuel door? So much controversy was raised over who would be selling the product and then Harry disappeared and never came back with an explanation of why not?

Does anyone have this door with the HUMMER logo?

Just bought my yellow hummer and just loving the rig! So, what's the verdict on AMP?? Is it the same as what SMA is selling. I had heard SMA is making with hummer machined in as well. What about a locking version? Black?

Any news of us late comers?
