Ok have a look at the fuel gauge in your car - has it got a symbol of a petrol pump beside it ?
If so, what side of the petrol pump is the hose shown, left or right ?
If the hose is on the right hand side of the pump, the filler cap is on the right hand side of your car
If the hose is on the left hand side .......... yeah ?
This was a bit of useless information given on a radio station today, I check ed on my car and my van, one fills on the left and one fills on the right, the symbols on the fuel gauges actually do correspond.
How cool is that  |

I've got a sign on the back of my car which reads 'Powered by Fairydust'
I'm sure my Mother thinks it's true cos every week I take her shopping to ASDA she never says, 'Heres a couple of quid for some petrol' |

Handy hint #1
If the oil doesn't reach the end of the dipstick - you don't need a new dipstick |

Spoil sport !  
Was Clarkson lol.. Not me.. He went and found about 20 cars that busted the theory...
Sowwy... Honest x "
Yea, but he likes Aston's, and they always get it right by having one on both sides! LOL
Generaly Hondas and Citrons no, and Fords yes. According to Google do it must be true!

"Always always check which side your to fuel the car from before going to the garage.. looking a tit is not a good look lol. "
And more importantly know how to open the petrol cap!!!!
Hmmm, some cars hide the lever down by the drivers door!!!!
Not good when its a self service pay at the pump at the supermarket with a big queue behind you!!! |
