I have been driving (legally) for more years than I care to remember.
One would think I would have noticed the little secret on my dashboard that was staring me right in the face the whole time.
I didn’t and I bet you probably haven’t either.
I didn't know this!
Quick question, what side of your car is your petrol tank?
If you are anything like me, you probably can’t remember right away. My solution was to stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look. If you don’t do this in your own car you have definitely done it in a borrowed or rented car.
Well ladies and gentlemen, I’m going to share with you my little secret so you will no longer put your neck at risk of discomfort or injury.
If you look at your petrol gauge, you will see a small icon of a petrol pump. The handle of the petrol 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.
If you have one with an arrow, the tank will be on the side the arrow points. Left in this case.
It is that simple!
Why don’t the dealers share such important information with car buyers?
I don’t understand why this isn’t in the drivers’ manual.
