There is a rumour that on the fuel guage which ever side the hose is on the little pic is the side your filler is ?

[Escort Mk1 4 Door]

[deltamal]

Swap the car for a Transit!

If you look at the fuel gauge indicator on your dash by the fuel gauge, the little icon that looks like a petrol pump will tell you which side your flap is on! The pump draawing will be one way round or the other! 

[LGreen]

I have heard the same about the petrol light on the dash letting you know which side it is but not checked it out. I thought the reason the fuel flap was on different sides was because its got to be on the opposite side to where the exhaust exits?

[johnnyspencer]

i use the pumps for both sides but i dont reverse in,  they always reach around to the other side of the car anyway, at least iv never been to one that doesnt!

[dacar]

The RS dashboard has the fuel pump hose pointing to the left and the filler is on the right! My daily has a small arrow next to petrol telling you what side it's on. Wife's car the same

[mk2 mike]

It's not true for all cars. I've driven about 3 or 4 in the last year that had the filler cap on the opposite side to the little pic on the gauge.

[Fiesta Steve]

Modern fords have an arrow on the fuel gauge telling you which side the filler is on..
