The car fuel tank is on the left and right. What is the difference? Owner: increase your knowledge!

As we all know, today's technology is more and more advanced with the growth of age. Whether it is medical treatment, travel or even diet, it is closely related to technology. Take the automobile market as an example. Compared with more than ten years ago, the automobile market has undergone earth-shaking changes. I believe that the price of a car is everyone's deepest feeling. Nowadays, cars have become a necessity that every household can afford, which also benefits from the development of automobile technology and reduces the cost in all aspects. In addition, people's understanding of cars is getting deeper and deeper, and they are no longer limited to superficial cognition. But even so, the knowledge related to cars can be described as endless, and it is impossible to be clear. For example, when the owner refuels the car, he will find that some fuel tanks are on the left and some are on the right. What's going on here? What's the difference between the left and right fuel tanks? The car fuel tank is on the left and right. What is the difference? Owner: increase your knowledge!

To illustrate this problem, let's first learn about left-hand drive and right-hand drive in the cab. Many people may wonder, how can there be a connection between the left or right side of the cab and the left or right side of the fuel tank cover? In fact, there is a certain connection between the two. As we know, the cabs of domestic models are all on the left, while the cabs of most foreign cars are basically on the right, which is also caused by different traffic rules in different countries, and of course it is convenient for car owners to drive. However, why does China explicitly use left-hand drive, and why do many cars have the difference between left and right fuel tanks? In fact, the main reason is that in order to save costs, joint ventures and imported cars directly use foreign body templates, while the cabs of foreign cars are basically on the right. This is really convenient for car companies. After all, redesigning the car body will increase the cost to a certain extent.

Of course, whether the fuel tank is on the left or right, it is set at the rear of the car. Why? In fact, this is about the overall structure of the car. Generally speaking, the engine and gearbox are located in the front of the car, and in order to balance the weight of the car and keep the center of gravity as much as possible, there must be something balanced in the back of the car, so the fuel tank is the best choice. In China, the fuel tanks of domestic cars are generally set on the right side, which is also in line with the domestic traffic rules of driving on the right. In addition, it will be more convenient for the owner to go to the gas station to refuel. If the fuel tank is set on the left side, it will be more troublesome to reverse when refueling.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, most Japanese cars imported from China are generally right-handed, and these cars are not allowed to go on the road in China. So the designers of car companies try to turn the car into a left rudder. The simplest method is to directly translate the position of the steering wheel without even adjusting the layout of the fuel tank and the position of the fuel tank cover, which can greatly reduce the cost. It is worth mentioning that how did the owner judge the position of the fuel tank cover when he went to refuel? Generally speaking, car owners can observe through the oil meter. There is a gas station sign in the oil meter, and there is a triangle on the left side of the sign. If the triangle points to the right, the inflation port is on the right. On the other hand, if the triangle is on the left, the fuel filler is on the left, which is very convenient.
