Dashboard Fuel Pump Icon "Secret"



I have heard that if you look at your gas gauge, you will see a small icon of a gas pump. (see above) The handle of the gas pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the pump. If your fuel tank fill is on the left, the handle will be on the left. If it is on the right, the handle will be on the right. Is this so?

No!, The fuel pump icon handle quite often has no correlation with the location of the fuel filler. On some of the newer GM vehicles it might be so, but there are lots vehicles out there where this statement does not hold up!
