Last year for the Berlinetta
I had a 1986 sport coupe camaro. I know that I put the gas in underneath the rear plate. My husband says this is not at all possible since all the photos we see of 1986 camaros have the tank on the driver side. Is it possible that I put the gas in under the rear plate (I know I did but he does not believe me) Thanks
Debbie,
My parents bought a 1986 IROC Camaro when I was 6 years old and still own it to this day. I'm guessing you thought you filled the gas tank from behind the license plate because you often did lower the license plate, but that would be to unlock the truck. Behind the rear license plate was the keyhole to open the trunk. The gas tank was always located on the drivers side.
