Is the fuel tank cap of a Mercedes-Benz on the left or right side?

On the right side. The fuel tank cap switch of a Mercedes-Benz is generally linked to the car door. When the door is opened, the fuel tank cap automatically unlocks, and pressing the fuel tank cap switch will pop it open. Below are specific details on cleaning the fuel tank: Regular Cleaning: A sealed fuel tank can accumulate a lot of gum, sludge, particulate matter, and foil. Many substances in the fuel require regular cleaning to prevent excessive impurities from causing malfunctions. Effects of Long-Term Neglect: Excessive deposits of impurities and water at the bottom of the fuel tank can clog the ventilation pipes and fuel lines, creating negative pressure inside the tank. This leads to poor fuel supply, sluggish throttle response, and reduced vehicle performance. If the fuel level is too low or insufficient at this time, it is essential to refuel immediately—do not wait until the warning light comes on. If the fuel pump continues to operate under these conditions, it may overheat, affecting its lifespan, and in severe cases, could even cause the pump to burn out.
