A fuel filler door module for installation in a motor vehicle comprises a trough body 2 that can be placed in a vehicle body 7 along with a fuel filler door 10 pivoted to the trough body 2, which has an axial opening 4 for accommodating a fuel filler neck, and a radially outwardly projecting fastening edge 8 for attachment to the motor vehicle body 7. A flexible sealing element 20,30 is provided on the fastening edge 8. The element has a sealing section 22, 32 that forms a sealing abutment against an interior side 13 of the fuel filler door 10. The element may be C-shaped, or abutment may occur against a ring-like web 18 on the inside of the door. The element 20, 30 may be deformed such as by bending, in a manner that enables door flap operation with less force than may be required with prior trough module arrangements.
