Ask your club.....

I can remember that the filler is on the driver's side on my car. With the OH's car, I activate the remote filler release and can then see it sticking out in the wing mirrors to remind me. Like Ian, I pick the first empty pump. A bit like choosing pitches.

Its a bit different on a motorhome, you would never reach if you went to a pump on the wrong side, and to complicate it further, we have the diesel filler on the nearside and the gas filler on the offside. Strangely I manage to remember...    I'm with the OP on this one.

You have to be close to pump with LPG, as you have to lean on button for it to work! Just saying.....

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.

Write your comments here...doesnt work with a motorhome unfortunately, you have to pick a pump on the correct side, when i first got it, i did like you, and had to drive around again.

On another thread were told that people exceeding 5mph on CC sites are "idiots" which seems a little exagerated to me, but no such description has been applied to people who can't remember which side their fuel cap is on. Thank goodness. Tolerance, tolerance, tolerance...

If it doesn't have an arrow you will probably find the little picture of a pump shows the nozzle on the side where the cap is.

Just as long as one is careful not to drive into the pump, while looking for the little arrow or picture. They are very small on our cars. I must admit to having to think twice, as our two cars have them on different sides and it is easy to get mixed up. Especially now we are retired and unless touring a tank can last well over a month.

Doesn't seem to be exaggerated  to to me (and I didnt make the 'idiots' comment) exceeding the speed limit could be harmfull, even fatal, not knowing where to put your nozzle (!) wouldnt actually cause anyone any harm, only amusement.

It beggars belief that there are people amongst us who cannot look on the side of their vehicle for the filler point!
