Tip of the day

[plumbnuts]

Hi all
I thought that I would share a bit of sometimes usefull information with you that I learned the other day.
How many times have you been in a different car/van and needed to refuel. You pull into the garage and think Oh ****, what side is the filler cap?
Well the tip of the day is that on your fuel guage there is normally a picture of a fuel pump. This pump will have a hose and nozzle and which ever side the hose/nozzle is, denotes which side of the vehicle you will find the filler cap. Some even have a small arrow as well.
I have been driving for many years and have never noticed!
