Narrative:
During the climb out; at roughly 15;000 feet; the fueling light illuminated. After consulting the checklist; we determined that we were not observing any abnormalities; and elected to continue the flight. We did not observe any abnormalities until we started a descent; through roughly 30;000 ft. We felt a continuous vibration throughout the aircraft that lasted for about one minute. After about a minute; the vibration stopped. We ascertained that the fuel panel door had possibly departed the aircraft. Upon landing at our destination; we observed that the fuel panel door had in fact departed the aircraft.
