Gas Filler Cap - Is It On Right Side, or Left Side

[Waynem]

All y'all run out and check this for me please!
===============================================
Have you ever rented or borrowed a car and when arriving at the gas station wondered...mmm, which side is the gas filler cap?

My normal solution was to stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look, try to see in the side mirrors or even get out of the car!

Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to share with you my little secret so you will no longer look like Ace Ventura on your way to the gas station or put your neck at risk of discomfort or injury.

If you look at your gas gauge, you will see a small icon of a gas pump? The handle of the gas pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the gas pump?

If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left of the icon. If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right side of the icon. It is that simple!

Don't feel dumb, just go out and share the world's best kept auto secret with your friends

Not on mine...... the gas pump icon is in the middle of the gage, and the pump handle is on the right side of the pump, but my tanks are on the left side of the truck as are the filler spouts.

They also use an arrow on the guage to point to the side the filler is on.

I heard this a few months ago and after checking a number of autos I found it doesnt work, at least not for me. But it does sound like a good idea and on some autos it is true.

I think the BETTER idea is put a filler spout on both sides of the truck then it wouldn't matter what side of the pump you were on.
I seen a Jaguare set up that way years ago, too bad they still dont think like that anymore.
