[6pack] Fuel filler orientation

[Greg Lemon]

I would place the filler opening side on the same side as my daily driver's
filler side.  That way if you go through much of your life on autopilot (as
I seem to be doing more and more these days) you will pull up on the
correct side of the pump without thought (although it is pretty easy to
make either side work on the TR4-6, bigger trick is not dripping petrol on
the valence).
