An access panel to be received in an access aperture in a lower skin of a wing on an aircraft incorporates a body surrounded by a sealing flange. The body is configured to be received in the access aperture and the sealing flange is configured to be received on a sealing land surrounding the access aperture. An integral heat exchanger extends from a top surface of the body into a fuel tank in the wing to conduct heat from the fuel to an external surface of the access panel.
