This is not entirely true.

Mrkumareze:

Which model n product be this your dashboard?

HenryWilliams:
That's not true.. Honda has nozzle on right.. Fuel tank cover on left.
General rule of thumb..
Japanese cars..tank on left
European cars. Tank on right
American cars.. Tank on left

Nonnyflex:
It's really funny that I just went to confirm from mine that I have been driving for more than a year.. I didn't even know that not only does it have an arrow but it was spelt out yet I never noticed it before now

bobnatlo:

What about the direct of the fuel nozzle in the symbol as the OP asserted earlier?

uboma:


this is not entirely true.

Toyota Camry 1999/2000 model has the fuel gauge and the nozzle and hosepipe pointing to the right but in reality the fuel tank cap is on the opposite side.

How many times,before and during this fuel scarcity have you pulled up to the filling station and got out of your car, only to find your fuel cap is on the other side?

It's frustrating and it has happened to us all at some stage,whether you're driving a new car,share one with your family/friend,or just feeling forgetful, and it can put you in an embarrassing situation.

So next time you get into your car have a look at the fuel gauge and you will see a little fuel pump symbol, and at the side of that symbol you will see a little triangle or arrow.

This arrow points to the side of the car that the fuel cap is located. This can be found on most new vehicles.
If you don’t see a triangle or arrow,which is common to old cars,then your fuel cap is on the same side that the nozzle and hosepipe appear on the fuel pump symbol.

I know with this little tip,you’ll never have to stick your head out the window again to check which side the fuel cap is at the filling station.

psalmson001:




What he is simply trying to say is that not all cars have that fuel guage arrow that indicates the direction of the fuel tank cap. The 1999/2000 camry is an example.........so OP for cars that dont have that arrow, how can u tell which side the fuel tank cap is located without having to come down from d car, or asking sm1 to help u check?

adanny01:
The only thing i have noticed for sure is that fuel caps on most cars is place on the opposite side of the exhaust muffler. The exception is for cars with a transverse muffler and others with dual exhaust.

Even on cars with transverse muffler, the exhaust pipe to the muffler will be on the side of the car opposite the ⛽

Yes, most Japanese cars have ⛽ in the left and most german cars in the left but its not strictly true. There are exceptions.

femi4:
seconded

I prefer it on left side cos its easier to monitor the petrol attendance from the side mirror

Thanks OP. Quite informative. But know this...people are not as dumb as you think that we keep forgetting the location of the fuel cap. Lol.

I wonder how you guys think. The information he shared isn't out of place. Is it his fault that your own car has no direction? My Avensis has an arrow to the left on the dash and my tank cap is on the left.

lonelydora:



You have bought a converted car.
