TikTok user @learncar warns drivers about a common mistake that most drivers make when filling up their cars – and says it could damage your car’s paintwork.
He said: “When you go to refuel, many people leave their filter cap hanging.
“Putting it like this can scratch the paint surface. In fact, there will be a fixing piece on the fuel cap.
“And placing the fuel filler cap on this mount will not damage the paint surface.”
But also this hack keeps the cap out of the way while the driver fills up with petrol.
The video has gone viral on social media with more than 23,600 views.
In a similar video published by @lasegadora, users were blown away after discovering that this hack could save them money on repairs.
One said: “One time, my dad left the gas cap at the gas pump.
“We had to go back for it. This trick would have been useful.”
Another said: “Definitely didn’t know this.”
A third pointed out: “I never knew that.. learn something new every day.”
This comes after people were blown away after discovering an easy £7 hack that will help to keep their car cool this summer.
Plus, a car expert revealed a little-known tip to improve your car’s fuel economy this summer – and it could save you hundreds of pounds.
