Question 767 Refuelling on RightWing(Question)

Hi to all...throughout all these years of healthy 767 operations, one doubt remains on my mind.
Why does the 767 only have refuelling points on its left wing, and no point to do so at right one?
I remember on the very early 80's days here on the southerly and sunny mediterranean destinations, lots of puzzles and brainstorms by the airport authorities and parking/marshalling management, whenever the oldie 762 of Britannia came here.
In some cases it was a really mess, specially on small sunny aprons, where it was parked almost "backwards", with lots of imagination and good-will improvise.
Does anyone knows if along these years, any 767 was already constructed without that restriction, all remains the same, and the main reason for that?
Sorry if was already asked here, but so far, none results on my searches. Tanx
