Quick question for you Tercel wagon guru's concerning the gas filler door... My '87 2WD has it on the driver's side, but I just spotted another wagon with the filler door on the passenger side. Was the side of the wagon with the gas filler door an indicator of the year model, or if a wagon is 2WD or 4WD?
Thanks for the hard-to-find facts!

Re: Fuel door question
The 2WD door is on the left and the 4WD door is on the right. They have different tanks due to different luggage floors and rear suspension pieces. The 2WD also has a luggage area about 10% larger, again due to less intrusive suspension bits. I thought your tank had a slightly larger capacity, but all of the Gen II tanks held the same 13.2 gallons.

T4WD augury?

Re: Fuel door question
THANKS for the info! Now I know for sure that sweet pale-yellow wagon I've spotted parked behind a house for the last several months is a 4WD, even without being close enough to see the emblems. Wish me luck when Uncle Sam's refund check arrives...
