it varies by manufacture.

My Volvo's have the fuel door on the passenger (right) side, while my Trans Am has it on the driver (left). My gf's Mini has it on the left and my brothers G35 has it on the right. Its a toss up really.

top tip: look at your fuel gauge the arrow (sideways triangle) denotes which side you fill from. If there is no arrow the side the filler handle in the picture of a pump tells you which side.

The FD3S has the fuel tank offset and filler cap on the left, to make room for the exhaust on the right. I always thought it was meant to give better weight balance when the driver is sitting on the right.

Gee, why not have them fuck your wife, too?

I see too many cars with gasoline stains on their paint for me to let some guy fill up my car. Also, when I drive and it's a snack stop, the passenger is the one that'll run inside.

Quoted By: >>13757545

Usually, cars designed in LHD markets have the filler on the right, and cars from RHD markets have it on the left, even on global models that switch the driver's side.

It's actually because some Asian and European cities have gas stations that are pretty much just pumps on a normal sidewalk, and you pull up to them just like if you were parallel parking. The filler is on the curb side so the attendant doesn't have to run out into traffic to fill your car.

i've got two japanese cars. ones on left, ones on right. maybe the one on drivers side (right) is made for australian market. the other is more of a straight import (toyota starlet GT) rather than one made for australia domestic market.

either way, it's probably how the gas tank is placed. some cars have gas tank in the right of the boot, while others are placed in the middle.

Gasoline is a solvent and will eventually eat away at your paint no matter how many clear coats you apply.

If you get it anywhere on your paint when you're filling up, don't wait to clean it up.

A lot of pump handles have some "dribble" that doesn't exit the tip of the nozzle when letting go of the lever/trigger.

I always tip the nozzle a little to get the last few drops into the tank and then use one of the paper towels they normally have for the squeegee to catch any of the dribble as I pull out.

Or you could just go full porno style and give your car a money shot.

This is the places that have unsafe systems in place we are talking about.

If you put on your indicator and point to the gas station everyone knows what you want to do. I regular bulldoze my way into blocking the main road so I can back down a drive way or into a lumber yard and that is a normal thing here so I am sure they can handle it too.
