Re: fuel door page 152
driver or passenger side that is the question...
usually not important to remember on which side because most cars (including crossfire) have an arrow next to the little fuel pump icon on the instrument cluster that points to the side of the car where the filler is located. also note that the filler door is on the opposite side of the vehicle from the exhaust. in the case of central or dual exhausts, it can be either side.
in the u.s., the advantage of having the filler door on the left, or driver's side, is that it is a shorter walk. but that is the only advantage i can think of.
the advantages of being on the passenger side, like our crossfires, are that you don't have to be as careful when opening your driver's door to avoid those big concrete pylons used to protect the pumps from being struck. also, if you ever run out of fuel it is safer to add fuel while standing away from busy traffic lanes. since the majority of cars do have the filler on the left, you can more easily find a pump to fill at. i've seen some filling stations with a one-way traffic pattern with people waiting for an open pump to the left while the pumps to the right were open.
