[TR] Gas tank filler cap orientation

[John Macartney]

Release button on the left, hinge on the right, looking at the filler from the
rear of the car. Don't recall this being different handing on left or right
hand 
drive cars.

I couldn't find any mention of it in
the TRA judging guidelines.  Latch in
the back seems logical, but the
trunk/boot lid will hit it and
unintentionally open the cap (as well as
eventually marking the paint).  So
I have mine turned with the latch to the
driver's side; as I always walk
past that point no matter which side the pump
is on.  

And when the pump is on the other side, it's easy enough to stand
behind the
car and fill from the rear.  In fact, that's generally what I do
anyway.
