Having a tidy around and decided to flick through the August mag with a cuppa before binning it...got to the ask your club page, are these questions made up?? I can not believe somebody ( well actually 2 people) have written in their " burning question" on " how do I remember which side my fuel cap is on"REALLY....should these people even be driving if they can not remember which side their fuel cap is on....it beggars belief, they must be made up surely.

Darwinism in action?  Those who can't remember on which side of the pump they need to park (or need to write to someone moaning about it)  are presumably naturally selected to run out of fuel and thus can't get onto the road to trouble any semi-sentient being?

Many years ago, I learned how to work out which side has the fuel cap by asking someone with more experience. I had to ask how to determine whether the hire cars [used a lot of them] were diesel or petrol if it wasn't marked on the filler cap.

Is it relevant? I pick the pump that is empty. The hoses usually reach if you pull up properly. If towing the van, I just have to be careful I don't trip over the stabiliser/handbrake and inadvertantly spray the front of the van with fuel.

Not sure you will like this but I do forget from time to time as it depends on what car I am driving. Also have the same problem with reverse. One is right and forward, the other is left and back.

Neither of ours has an arrow to point out which side it's on.

But I just use whichever pump / side is empty.

What is this obsession with having to stop on a certain side? I see people waiting for ages for a particular side and just drive past them to the first available.
