Default Fuel door on both sides of car?

I came up with this idea a while back while turning around at a gas station to fill up. What if I put a fuel door on the other side of the car? Then I could just pull into the gas station at any free pump without playing musical chairs. Is this possible? If I were to actually do it, I would want it to look symmetrical to the other side. Would it be possible to use JDM bla bla bla (rear panel, tubing)? Are their fuel doors on our passenger side? This is for a DA, by the way. Any input would be appreciated.

wow.

you cant just pull up on the drives side?
i go to some busy gas stations and have no problem

on topic.
i think it would look ugly.
it would take alot of work to run piping, and dont forget you would have to weld in the piping to to filler pipe on top of the tank.
not worth it.

take 10 seconds to think what side your gas door is on, and pull up.

But how can it look ugly when you can't see both sides of the car at the same time?

Would you put another fuel door release cable in, or just use the one for both. Then ever time you got gas you'd have to close both sides.

My vote: just pull in on the drivers side.

fuel door is still on the left side of the car on the right hand drive models.
WAY too much work for a small bit of convenience.

ok, this doesn't sound like it's worth it.

well you could install a racing fuelcell into the trunk and then fill it by opening the trunk, that way it would be the same distance from both sides of the car
