The current automobile market is developing rapidly, product update iterations are relatively fast, and some car brands may spring up like mushrooms. I don’t know that some careful friends have noticed that some car brands may have different fuel tank positions, some of which are on the left. On the right, why is this? What is the difference between the left and right sides of the car's fuel tank?

 

　　The old driver said that before talking about the fuel tank, let's talk about the location of the car cab. Why do you want to talk about it first? Because the fuel tank position and driving position are closely related. The cultural differences and habits of each country are different, and the traffic rules are different. In some western countries, the driving position may be on the right. Their traffic rules are to the left, but in most parts of China, the opposite is true. Most of our driving positions are on the left and the traffic rules are to the right. Some careful friends may notice that the fuel tank of the right-hand drive car driving to the left in the west is on the left. Can it be understood that the fuel tank of the left-hand drive car driving to the right in China is on the right? In fact, it is not all right.

 

　　The old driver said that China's cars often have fuel tanks on both the left and right sides. This is because China has joint venture cars and imported cars. These cars have adopted foreign body structure design and may not have an appearance when they are introduced into China. The design was modified, so even for the left rudder, the fuel tank is on the left. However, since China is a traffic law that runs on the right side, when the left tank is in a collision or a collision, it may be more likely to cause the tank to leak and explode, posing a major safety hazard. Therefore, some joint venture brands and domestically produced vehicles that were introduced later have been modified to a certain extent, and some have been replaced with right-hand fuel tanks. While ensuring safety, they also provide convenience for refueling.

 

　　Some owners may not know the location of their car's fuel tank. There is also a simple way to judge the indicator light on the instrument panel inside your car. There will be a small arrow on the fuel gauge on the instrument panel. This arrow indicates The direction is the location of your car's fuel tank.
