Useless information about the fuel gauge in your car.

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'

Generaly Hondas and Citrons no, and Fords yes. According to Google do it must be true!

Top tip ... when the oil warning light thingy comes on it's time to tell the other half that the car is about to need a garage

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!!!
