Who flipping cares if the cab has a very handy 13A inverter powered socket under the middle seat, when you have to open the passenger door to put fuel in? Pretty economical & plenty of room in the back for my dream disco rig. But just NO on account of that flipping fuel filler flap. What kind of IDIOTS design these things?
The Mercedes 9 seater Vito's we have at work have the same stupid design.

I'm guessing they forgot to add one until it was too late in the design stage and put it inside the door.
