Cars Without Gas Tanks
Does it ever feel as if your car doesn’t have a gas tank? You know, when you go to fill up on gas, either with your car, a friends or one of your family member’s, and step outside the vehicle only to find that the gas tank’s on the other side of the car? Speaking from my own personal experience, I can say this has happened to me at least 20 times in the last 5 years.
So what if there was a built-in tool that reminded the driver which side the tank is on? One that didn’t require you stepping outside the car? Someone should really do something about that! Oh wait they already have! By they I mean every major car manufacturer on the planet. Ready for the most impressive auto secret ever?
Here it is: if you look at your gas gage, you will see a small icon of a gas pump. The handle of the gas pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the pump. If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left. If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see photo below). It’s that simple!
on my crap daily driver 1995 escort this trick doesn’t work. the little handle comes out the right side of the pump but the filler is on the left
