At least is was better than VW, open the trunk (front hood) 8 gallon bomb. Later VW moved the filler to the passengers side but the gas was still right in front. The Pinto wins for the far worse.

The Ford Pinto memo , which ruthlessly calculates the cost of reinforcing the rear end ($121 million) versus the potential payout to victims ($50 million). Conclusion? Let 'em burn.
That sums up Fords better idea at the time! They knew, they didn't care.
I'm like you, didn't know about the arrow but I always knew which side for gas. I always like the Ford I had, it was behind the license plate.
Guess I am behind the times, my Ford gas cap is just forward of windshield behind the chrome cowl strip. Neat old car but needs a little front end work as with all 'A's
I'm guessing a gravity fuel pump rather than electric in the fuel tank with a fuel filter that the average consumer could change. Who's bright idea was to install it in the gas tank?
