A fueling mat includes a main body configured as a sheet. The main body includes an opening defined in the main body and a plurality of tabs. The opening defines an outer perimeter and the tabs extend inwardly from the outer perimeter. The tabs are configured to flex out of the opening. With this structure, the tabs can protect the region of a fuel port from damage, whether or paint or structural, during fueling and further can help cover the opened fuel port, at least fractionally, before a fuel nozzle is inserted.
