[bluesky4me]

Had this sent to me a s an email:

I have been driving (legally) for over a decade. One would think I would have noticed the little secret on my dash that was staring me right in the face

The whole time.

Yet to check if its true...

probably is...

i've always been told the fuel filler is on the opposite side to your exhaust (except for twin exhausts obviously)

[Stage Name]

Yet to check if its true...

I got this on email too.

I've got an AW11 MR2 (fuel filler on the passenger side), and the picture of the petrol bowser has the handle on the right side. So both pictures on the MR2 dash and Stagea dash the same, even though fuel tank on opposite sides!!

So IMO its not true.....

its like people saying which ever side of the dash the gauge is on, the flap is...

Works for my stag , got me all excited but alas... not true, friends S8 rx7 and chaser are both opposite.

My dad told me about this when I was a kid and over the years I've found it to be true on about 85% of cars so far.. so pretty handy if you're in a mates car and need to fill up without looking like an r-tard. Or just do the pop it open and look in the mirrors!

so what about old falcons and the such that fill under the rear badge or license plate? hmmn.....

N13 pulsars are opposite too

[beastien]

I have a 06 model Hilux, and it actually has an arrow on the fuel gauge pointing

to the side the filler is on.

my pintara has the filler on the same side as the tank, and my legnum has a little arrow pointing to it as well

[Nightcrawler]

my wife's Honda Accord Euro is opposite

[petrolfix]

today a bloke told me that it is the way the bowser filler tip is pointing weather it's hanig up or out. and for a while this was checking out as correct 300zx, falcon, hiace. but i just looked at my silvia and a commodore and thats false i think its just however the manafacture wants to put the blasted thing

myth.......

corollas (06) have an arrow and "Fuel Door"

[Lil_Bobby_260]

Yeah gotta love the old falcons - park any side you want. Makes for a nice clean finish on the body panels too! But yeah just pop it and look in ur rear view mirrors.

I hear stageas use enough fuel you should never be able to forget what side its on!

[bluesky4me]

I think this myth is officially...."Busted"!
