A refueling point assembly for a vehicle, comprising: an access tube 15 for communication with a fuel store within a body of the vehicle, the access tube having a mouth portion 15M via to access the fuel store, and a closure 13, e.g. a hinged lid or cover, configured to either close or open the mouth of the access tube. The access tube is selectively moveable, relative to the vehicle body, e.g. by a compression spring 3 or a powered motor drive, between a closed configuration in which it is contained substantially within the vehicle body and an open configuration in which at least a portion of the access tube protrudes or extends from the vehicle body whilst providing access to the fuel store. The closure is operably connected to the access tube such that it moves between its closed and open configurations with movement of the access tube. The operable connection may be provided by a hinge connection 40 coupled with a linkage element which operates to pull the closure open as the access tube travels outwards into its open position.
