Re: The Worlds Best Kept Auto Secret
Must just be where the filler neck is, a lot of vehicle's tanks are in the middle.

Re: The Worlds Best Kept Auto Secret
Not always true...our 02 Silverado has the hose on the right...and the filler is on the left.

Re: The Worlds Best Kept Auto Secret
Also my 2000 Mazda - figure points right and cap is on the left. My guess is that it has more to do with some designer's aesthetic view than a real symbol. An engineer wouldn't do something so 'elegant" when a simple > or < would communicate more effectively.

Funny you mention that, cause it so happens that dad's new car has an arrow indicating the side, which is different to the side the fuel pump drawn on it would indicate, so I guess this isn't always correct ![]()

Re: The Worlds Best Kept Auto Secret
That gas pump image is only telling you that you are looking at the gas level indicator on the car. They started using images instead of words (look at the oil pressure gage and water temperature gage when there is one), so anyone can understand, no matter what language you can or cannot read, or even if you can't read at all! So how does one that can't read get a driver's license?
