Although this  drainage hole  is an ingenious solution, manufacturers now offer  ultra-resistant models  :

  • Made of stainless steel or anti-corrosion alloys .
  • It is not a drainage hole , but it is designed  to resist moisture  and prevent rust.

  • Brass door handles  : This material has  natural antibacterial properties , limiting the proliferation of microbes.
  • The small triangle on the fuel gauge  : it indicates  which side  of your car’s tank is on. Handy at the gas station!
