Worse still, it's a DIEsel

 

not on the s2000 or the ford focus (which has arrow next to logo tho) and not on the ford ka.

I don't think many manufacturers have conciously done this, those that do have it on the correct side had a 50% chance of getting it right anyway! :

 

Yes, i did! Noticed it on a Focus estate i had about 5 years ago and its been true on all my cars since.

Not true for my mates Esprit V8.. it has one on my both sides so you can choose which one to fill up on!!

 

so not true for Toledos and Kas (Esprit and S2000 don't seem to fit)

any others?

it seems to be right a lot more than it's wrong

 

Yes,most cars I have driven in the last few years either have an arrow or the pump symbol on the relevant side.

Can't remember for the S2000.

In the good old days didn't Jags have a filler each side or did I dream that

 

yep

and a switch inside so you could change tanks

10.5 galls either side iirc

 

It was on Pistonheads a while ago, I think it was true for the majority.

 

What drive's me crazy is the indicator stalk why can't they put them all on the same side! How many times have I driven different cars to find the wipers going full speed when I want to turn left or right
