| Jun 27, 2016 at 15:53 | comment | added | Cem Kalyoncu | Both cars are Japanese manufactured, Mazda and Toyota and RHS. A newer Toyota car I have seen has its fuel hatch on left side as well, but that older model has it on the right. | |
| Jun 27, 2016 at 15:01 | comment | added | Marc | @JimmyB as you said "many manufacturers don't take the hassle". So manufacturers that build cars primarily for the right driving world will have the fuel hatch on the left side, no matter where the wheel will be (see Audi, BMW, Mercedes..). Japanese manufacturers mostly have the hatch on the right side (see Honda, Mitsubishi...). There are counter examples, I know, but as I already said in general the hatch is on the non-driver side. | |
| Jun 27, 2016 at 14:45 | comment | added | JimmyB | @Marc There are LHD and RHD versions of the same car model. I don't think many manufacturers take the hassle to also flip the fuel hatch, the fuel pipe, the tank, parts of the trunk's interior, maybe the exhaust &c. So basically no real connection between steering wheel and fuel hatch. | |
| Jun 27, 2016 at 14:44 | comment | added | user25727 | @Cem Kalyoncu I find that a bit odd (for safety reasons), but that goes to show I was too quick to conclude. I do hope both your cares have the wheels on the bottom side. | |
| Jun 27, 2016 at 11:36 | comment | added | Marc | @CemKalyoncu most cars have the fuel hatch on the opposite site of the steering wheel for savety reasons (easy refuel if you have a breakdown). There are exceptions, but most european cars have the fuel hatch on the right side. It's similar with the exhaust pipe: It's on the same side as the steering wheel (to keep exhaust fumes away from pedestrians). | |
| Jun 27, 2016 at 10:46 | comment | added | Cem Kalyoncu | @Servaes We have two different brand cars have fuel hatches on different sides even though their wheels are on the same side. | |
