Gas Filler Cap

[Cuda340]

This falls into the category of "Gee, I didn't know that!"

Do you know which side of your car the gas filler tank is on?

There's a little secret on your dashboard that is staring you in the face
every time you get behind the wheel.

Have you ever rented or borrowed a car and when arriving at the gas station
wondered, which side is the gas filler cap on?

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

Well here is a 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 on your dashboard, 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 side of your car, the handle will be on the left.
If your tank is on the right side of your car, the handle will be on the right.

Simple.

Well, it doesn't hold up for a 1997 Honda. The picture of the pump handle is on the right, and the gas cap is on the left. It must be a Japanese thing.
