The fuel tank cap on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is on the right side. The fuel tank cap switch is located below the door armrest. To open the fuel tank cap of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, press the button inside the car to open the fuel tank cap located on the right side of the vehicle for refueling. The fuel tank cap switch of the Mercedes-Benz is linked to the door. As soon as the door is opened, the fuel tank cap is automatically unlocked. Then, simply press the fuel tank cap of the Mercedes-Benz, and it will automatically pop open. Meaning of the fuel tank cap: The fuel tank cap refers to the container on the car used for storing gasoline. Shape of the fuel tank cap: It is square in shape, made of stainless steel, and has excellent sealing. There is only a small circular opening, about the size of a bottle cap, for easy storage.

Friends who drive a Mercedes-Benz C-Class will probably notice that the fuel filler cap is usually on the opposite side of the driver's seat, which is the passenger side. When I drive it myself, refueling is always convenient—I just pull over to the right, and the fuel nozzle is perfectly positioned on the right side. This is because, as a German car, Mercedes-Benz designs its vehicles considering Europe's right-hand traffic habits, where fuel pumps are mostly placed on the right. However, there might be slight variations across different model years of the C-Class—for example, some imported versions may have the design reversed. If you're still unsure, just start the car and check the fuel gauge icon on the dashboard—the small arrow next to it indicates which side the fuel tank is on. This design is quite thoughtful, saving you the hassle of searching endlessly.
