Trick to find out from inside the car which side the fuel tank is on

Don't be upset when you stop at a gas station and we know where the gas tank is in your car, following this advice you can live in peace

If you ever entered gas station and you had a moment of forgetfulness, wondering Which side is your car's gas tank on?don't worry, it's something very normal and it's happened to all of us. Whether you're in a rental car or just feeling a little confused in a car you've owned for years, you can avoid having to flip your car to solve this dilemma.

The answer lies in small symbol on the board what you may have overlooked; Just look for the little one arrow triangle next to the indicator.

The arrow indicates which side of the car the gas tank is on. If the arrow points to the left, then the vehicle's filler cap is on the left. If it points to the right, it is on your right. This knowledge of the gas tank can prevent you from sticking your head out the window or getting in and out of the car.

It's that simple, all you need is a quick glance at the board to know exactly where to stop to fill up the tank.

Dial indicators on new cars

This little arrow is on most modern cars, and since most rental cars are newer or newer vehicles, they will most likely have an arrow too, which provides some relief if you find yourself driving a rental car.

Gasoline pump icon on old cars

What about old cars that don't have arrows? On older vehicles, often the fuel pump icon is located next to the fuel gauge, but unfortunately there is not always a consistent correlation between the fuel pump position gauge and the location of the gas tank cap on the vehicle.

Sometimes the pump gauge hose is on the same side of the car as the gas tank cap, but this is not always the case.

So if you have a new car and can't remember which way to stop when refueling, look at the triangular arrow to find the answer. If not, you may need to check your rear view mirrors before stopping.
