Fun fact, if you ever need to know what side of the car it is on, look at the fuel symbol on the dashboard and what side the pump handle it is on.

I thought this, but I have been in vehicles where this isn't the case, a Peugeot being the last one I can remember.

On the subject of fuel tank access for refilling do the manufactures alternate per car on the production line which side the flap go’s?

Don't be ridiculous. It switches side as you approach a petrol station.

I don't believe it. Even a Citroen hire car I had was right !

Stop getting in a flap about it.

I hope I haven't added fuel to this conversation as I am not sure which side I am on.

Get a Mini Cooper S (a proper one, not the BMW shite) or an XJ6 Jag. They had fuel tanks on both sides.

This is a myth. The pump handle is nearly always on the right if these logos. The fuel filler location varies from car to car and only matches the logo by coincidence. Many cars had an arrow (or sodeways triangle) to show which side the filler cap is on.

On more than one occasion, I have looked like a total pillock by trying to stretch the stupidly short hose over, and being a few inches short...
