What is the difference between the left and right fuel filler openings?
1 Answers
The differences between the left and right fuel filler openings are as follows: 1. Balancing vehicle weight: Some car manufacturers pay close attention to the weight distribution of the vehicle body. Since the driver's weight is a fixed load inside the car, as long as the vehicle is driven on the driver's side, it will bear the driver's weight. To achieve a balanced effect, the fuel tank is placed on the opposite side. 2. Safety considerations: For vehicles that drive on the right side of the road, the fuel filler opening is designed on the right side, which is opposite to the driver's seat. This avoids vehicles passing behind the fuel attendant, thereby protecting the safety of the fuel attendant. 3. Driving direction designation: The position of the fuel filler opening and the driver's seat is generally designed diagonally. This means that the design of the fuel filler opening is directly related to whether the vehicle is driven on the left or right side of the road in different countries.
