Fuel Tank Doors<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Automobile manufacturers design vehicles with the fuel tank both\nthe left and right sides of the vehicle. The preference of left or right is\nlargely influence by country or region. For instance, in America, we drive sitting\nin the left side of the car; so, most drivers prefer for the fuel tank door to\nbe on the same side because it is easier to pull the left fender closer to the\ngas tank. In contrast, Europeans drive on the right side of a vehicle, and\naccordingly, it is common for European automobile manufacturers to place the\nfuel tank on the left side of the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More so than regional preference, the decision to put the\nfuel tank on the left or right side depends on the position of the components beneath\nthe vehicle since it is difficult to route the filler tube to the same side on\nevery vehicle. You see, if a vehicle is designed with large mechanism on the\nleft beneath its carriage, such as a speaker, automotive engineers will put the\nfuel tank on the right where there is more room. So, when it comes to fuel tank\nposition, it is not a random decision; there are various factors that influence\nwhere a fuel tank will be positioned within a vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Near the fuel gauge or icon, you will see\na small arrow, usually without a handle, like these \u201c\u0083\u0084.\u201d Whichever side the\npoint is facing is the side your fuel tank door is on! Now you will never have\nto worry about this problem, no matter which car or truck you drive in the\nfuture!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
