Clever Little Known Fact

[1969chargerrtse]

Bad start of a day   Christmas eve, Had my coffee, watched some news, (which always makes me thankful for not being part of it) and headed out the door with a  great start of the day attitude.  I get to the gas station, all excited about my new learned gas pump light handle thingy, and I look at it , Oh pump Handle on right side.  I go to the right side and spent like 15 Min's out in the cold, I couldn't find it   Stupid gas door was on the Left side of the truck.  Had people backed up and beeping at me for taking so long.  I kept yelling, Hold off I'm looking for my darn gas door!!  Stupid Ford people put the wrong picture on the dash.   You realize this is one of those things that will follow you?  I take it we will see you this summer in PA.  You'll here all sort of stories like, sorry I'm late ran out of gas on the parkway, couldn't find my gas door this morning to fuel up?  Hope you have a good sense of humor.     Ah Merry Christmas anyway.

When I had a '69 Charger as a daily driver, I was once out with a girlfriend going someplace during a snow storm. We stopped for gas & the attendant came over to the window & I rolled it down. He asked what gas & how much, I told him & rolled the window back up. Now after a period of time, and not just a few seconds, I mean at least 2 minutes, the attendant came back to the window & knocked. I rolled the window down & he asks, "Where does the gas go on this thing?" My girlfriend broke out into laughter, & I got out to dust the snow off the top of the quarter panel.

The reason my girlfriend laughed so hard, was only because we had a conversation about the car earlier, & the big chrome gas cap being in plain view was part of it.   


I think this gauge is more accurate since this whole, which side of the car has the gas cap, has holes in it.

Your kidding............ . Now you know not to listen to women when it come to cars..........sorry Jackie

Of course, Jackie is just passing on information that she verified in her own cars first and for all we know, the buddy who passed the info on to her in the first place is a man, so...

[The70RT]

Oh, well what can I say. A Mopar buddy sent it to me and it works out for my car and Shelby's.

She never stated it was a guy or a gal.

[Ghoste]

Which is why I said "for all we know". 

[The70RT]

Whoops..........  to me.

Well the only way I can ever tell since I'm driving a different vehicle just about every day at work is to see where the arrow is on the dash cluster. Oddly enough I've also noticed that on the newer vehicles that the fuel gauge also seems to corelate to which side of the vehicle they are on as well. Not on all of them though so that theory doesn't work either.

If that held true for a Charger then the filler neck would be in the center of the car as the fuel gauge is closer to the center of the dash panel.

Jackie, help me out here! 

[Charger-Bodie]

Definitely not a fact! I have 6  vehicles in the shop right now and only 1 supports you're claim. sorry Jackie but its too good to be true!
