Have you ever wondered why not all cars have gas tanks on the same side and have you just noticed which side of the car company’s engineers put the fuel door on? Engineers are free to install fuel doors on the side of the car, which offers the easiest packaging. Although one on each side is convenient, there is no need for both sides or double fuel doors, as if refuelled through one, the engines will be filled.

The location of the fuel door is mainly a component of the fuel tank design, location, and underbody packaging. Since all the structures and components are located under the vehicle, the filler tube can be quickly controlled in trying to root to the same side in each vehicle. In some countries prefer fuel doors on the left side of their cars, perhaps making it easier for them to place their car’s left fonder near the fuel pump.

For this reason, in other countries, such as the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and India, drivers driving on the left side of the road favour the fuel door on the right, but it cannot be established that drivers’ preference is a factor.

There are restrictions on where the fuel door should be placed. But it doesn’t specify whether these are on the right or left side of the cars. 50 percent of the pumps at the gas station will not be used if all cars have fuel doors on the same side and will have to wait long hours in line to get gas.

If you can’t remember the location of the fuel door, look at the small diamond-shaped arrow on the fuel gauge on the dashboard, which points to the side of the car with the fuel door. This helps to avoid the embarrassment of having to get into the car and drive to another pump.

Have you noticed that some cars have fuel tanks on the driver’s side, have you ever wondered what happens to the drivers on the right side of the fuel tanks are always on the side of the vehicle, they all park the vehicle on the right side of the open pump for refuelling?

All the spots on the right side of the pumps are filled when the crowd arrives to buy gas, while most of the ones on the left side remain empty. The automakers have installed fuel filler doors on various sides of the vehicles to ensure that some drivers go left and others to the right. These design features reduce the amount of time most people have to wait to fill their cars.

The direction in which the arrow points are the position of the fuel tank’s door, and if this is leading you to the left you know that it is the driver’s side. Some older vehicles also have similar features. Moreover, it is important to choose the right fuel for the car. Else, the option is to sell the car to a car removal company.
