On the F150 there are dual tanks on the driver's side- so much for balancing out. But wait! Maybe they did that to balance out GFs/wives?

Off the top of my head, all my cars have tanks that are centered laterally.

thats a good point.....why IS the gas tank on my side.....I mean they could have just had the transfer case half shaft come out of the other side of the unit so the muffler could be on my side...

My Focus tank is on the passenger side so I guess I'm pretty balanced when the tank is full
