fuel symbol on dash
Just asking help to settle an arguement.
The little fuel symbol on a car dash. I say the side of the hose tells you the side of the petrol cap.
I'm no car expert but all cars ive ever drove has been like that.
My m8 who works with cars says its not always true.
So settle an argument, next tiome yor in yer car have a look and report back here if you would.
thanks

Re: fuel symbol on dash
98% of what you say is true and the other 2% says your wrong ,most cars as you say come into your way of thinking but there are a few that dont as your mate says.

Re: fuel symbol on dash
ive seen this question ask before on other forums,some say if the petrol pump hose on the right of the
pump means the filler cap is on the right,if the hose is on the left of the pump,the filler cap will be on the left
side on car,also sometimes you get a little triangle symbol near the petrol pump pointin which way the filler cap is
on this pix the filler cap is on the left side Hidden Content
on this pix the filler cap is on the right side Hidden Content

Re: fuel symbol on dash
This little item cropped up on a car forum I dip into occasionally.
I've driven so many different cars I've lost count but I can say that it is not always true. at the moment I have an 02 Astra, a Peugeot Mezan Campervan, a Saab 93, an old-skool Mini, an E Type and a Volvo estate. All but the Volvo follow the rule.

The needle itself can point to the side of the filler cap with gauges on some cars reading from top to bottom but not the ones pictured.
