IF the only problem you're having is the fuel door falling off, it does not thread into the plastic piece.
(don't start bashing your head against the table just yet)
There's a metal strip with two holes in it, those would be threaded holes, that the mounting screws for the gas door hinge screw into.
(D'oh! Bam, bam, bam!)
Replace the metal strip with one from a junkyard or (when they're all rusted, thanks NY) change to a slightly longer bolt (instead of a short self-tapping screw that's rusted to oblivion by now) and mount two shallow nuts and washers on the other side.
