Is it true that in order to find out which side of the car your gas tank is on while sitting in the car just look at your gas guage. Just look at the little gas pump shown next to your gas guage inside your car and it will have a little arrow on either the left side of the little gas pump or right side of the gas pump which the arrow is showing you which side of the car the gas tank is on. Is this true? I don't have this feature in my car and was just curious. Thanks

true. most cars have one. or an arrow. Just look on the outside of your car.

Sure, it's in some models, and that is true for those cars. It's not true for all cars, as you know.

I don't have that in my car either... The easiest way to find out is to get out and look.

Most newer cars have this nice little reminder. You can take a piece of bright colored tape and make one yourself for your car.

My Chevy has that little arrow. I love it. You can get the same effect with a sharpie pen and a piece of tape.

On newer vehicles. Both my '93 escort and '04 sable have it. As did the impala rental I had the other week. Good thing, cause they keep switching on me.

This feature is mostly on newer cars.

The "tank" is usually centered between the sides. The filler may be on either side or on some (mainly old Mustangs) located in the center rear. As to the gauge marking for the side the filler is on, some cars have it and some don't.

i never noticed! next time i get in a car, ill check it out! and get back to you.


bigbird
why don't you just get out of your car and WALK around it. to find it yourself, but only if you're trying to find the gas-intake because the actual tank is in the middle of the car underneath and behind the rear seats.

You can get a little sharpie and draw an arrow if you don't already have one.

I use diesel so I can't help you. Diesel vehicles don't have gas gauges.
