gas gauge..incorrect in the subject line but anyhow...guess if the handle is on the right side of the gas pump icon on the dash that means you should pull to the right side of the fill pump. If the handle is shown on the left side of the icon on dash then that means you need to pull to the left side of the fill pump to get gas. Now if there is a little arrow or > pointing then that means that is the side the fill door is located. If yours is in the back behind the license plate like one I have, then yee ha...in luck but you better pull close to the pump or it won't reach. I remember the days before I got drafted and worked for Boron. Trying to figure out where some of those hidden tanks were was a trip now and then. Behind the tail light?..lmao..and Another thing ya had to watch back in those days and I was guilty a few times was walking up to the car as the station employee and saying 'yes mam' to the customer (yes they use to pump gas for you back then) .. cause believe me when they made that add on tv with the nice long hair and a mustache when they turn around is not made up.... It doesn't go very well with the biker dude and a kid in high school pumping gas..lmao..lots of laughs on that one. Ah the days gone past. Still see the sunny day there at the station when my dad called to tell me..."you been drafted" Hey the big kick in the pants is we use to sell it on any given day $.24 a gallon and on gas war days at times $.19 . That dates me some but those were the days of the gas guzzlers for sure...not only the big cars with the big motors but we had to put 2 or 3 850cfm carbs on the thing.....now you were flying....imagine feeding that thing now.
