I sometimes wish I'd never started something! Trust me to mention petrol caps and petrol pumps that brought in many comments.

- Tony in Tuffley says the filler cap is always on the near side according to the side of the road they drive where the car was built. So if a car was built where they drive on the right the filler cap will be on the left.
- Derrick in Tetbury says before the 1970s the tank was always on the passenger side becuase the car used to be filled up over the pavement. it wasn't until we got European cars when it started to change.
- Gavin says sorry to spoil the theory but the guage in a Volvo V 40 shows the pump on the right but the tank is on the left !
- Prudence in Painswick has had a Landrover Discovery for many years and has had no idea what the funny triangle next to the pump light was. Now, it all makes sense, it's an arrow pointing to the right which is the cap side.
- Dave in Gloucester says all Fords have an arrow by fuel gauge
-Doug - a driving instructor - says he should have known better....he called in from his car - a Ford - and there is an arrow by the guage....
-Gail from the Forest says her fuel gauge on the dash is on the opposite side to my filler cap...
- Dick from Winchcombe says the filler cap is always on the opposite side to the exhaust pipe.
- Nick Hill says there aren't any clues in his Golf. Hang on, Nick has texted again - He says there is a clue! He's never seen that before !!!
