How can I tell which side of my fuel cap is on?
Not many people know this so it’s a handy little tip, if you look at the fuel gauge on the dash, there is a little arrow next to the fuel pump logo which quite simply indicates which side of the car the fuel filler cap is on. Simple. No more embarrassing forecourt moments, just pull up alongside the pumps which side the arrow points.
How are fuel lines connected in a truck?
There is a small fuel line connected to the top of each tank. These smaller lines come from the back of the head on your engine, returning un-burned, warm fuel to your tanks. Both lines are connected with a T fitting, ideally fuel flows to and from evenly for both tanks, levels stay the same, and they found a cure for cancer. NOT!
What happens to the fuel tank when the engine is running?
Fuel returning from a running engine will flow to where there is less resistance; i.e. lower air pressure in one side vs. the other would see all the returning fuel go to the side where the vent is working properly, while the side with the plugged up or stuck vent has a “bubble.”
What are the symptoms of a fuel injector problem?
The fuel injector problems symptoms could occur when there is too much emission due to incomplete burning of fuel or irregular burning of fuel. This happens when the air to fuel ratio is tilted to one side making it too rich that it could burn the catalytic converter.

Why is my fuel tank always lower on the drivers side?
Going down the road, the drivers side tank level is most always lower. In addition to the fuel lines, in the top of each tank is a pressure equalizing vent which is probably the culprit.
Is the fuel level always the same in a truck?
Both lines are connected with a T fitting, ideally fuel flows to and from evenly for both tanks, levels stay the same, and they found a cure for cancer. NOT! From day 1, your 98 Pete’s tanks never had the same fuel levels as long as the engine is running. Going down the road, the drivers side tank level is most always lower.
