A woman has become viral after having struggled to put gas in her new Honda, only to leave certain viewers equally confused. Krystal (@ krismary.x), a beauty influencer, told followers she had to call her fiancé because she could not understand how to feed her car. Turning to the fuel pump, she showed viewers the outside of her reservoir.
“This is the first time that I have put gas in my new car,” she said.
It was then that she realized that he had a fuel tank without a plug – and she did not know how to use it. “There is no cover or anything,” she said, before finally concluding that the gas nozzle is simply inserted directly into the opening. “I thought it’s okay here.”
To date, his video had accumulated more than 94,000 views.
How do different gas tanks work?
A gas tank without a plug uses a self-object system that eliminates the need from a traditional gas cap. When you insert the fuel nozzle, a flap opens automatically to allow fuel – not unscrewing, no lid loses. The filling is simple: simply insert the nozzle and the pump. Some models, such as those of Ford and Honda, may require a special funnel when using a portable gas box, but this is generally included with the car.
In the case of Krystal, the instructions were right in front of her.
This is what some frustrated viewers have stressed. His video clearly shows a label inside the fuel door, reading: “Use only the fuel nozzle or the emergency supply funnel supplied with a system without a plug. The use of other items may damage the system without a plug. Do not spray water on the fuel filter without a plug when the fuel door is open. ”
Even without this label, these systems are generally intuitive. There is no cap to delete and the filling design makes it difficult to impose. Although the funnels are necessary in certain situations, these are standard equipment. Capuchon -free systems also offer Some real advantagesLike less fuel spills, reducing gas odors on your hands and eliminating the risk of scraping your car’s paint with a loose cap.
If your car does not have one, it probably still uses the old screw version.
Hondas are likely to have tanks without a plug
Honda has deployed fuel filters without a plug through its range. The function appears on models like the 2023 Agreement And 2026 CR-VAccording to Honda Info Center. It is a trend that reflects the System call– Cleaner, easier and better sealed against the elements.
Viewers want the Honda customer to use contextual indices
Since the gas reservoirs without capitalization are relatively simple – and the instructions have been clearly labeled – certain viewers have been frustrated by the apparent confusion of Krystal.
“I took a break and I read the label in 5 seconds, do you need to go back to school?” A tiktker asked.
“You do not read the manual of the owners who comes with your fucking car ??” Another echoed.
“I learned this thing quite early called” reading “and I will let you know that she says” Capless Gas Filler “on the label there,” joked a third commentator.
Of course, not everyone was so hard for the driver, others saying that she just needs to spend more time learning her car.
“Idk why people are so mean, you finally understood,” said a woman.
A second commentator wrote something similar, adding: “Why you all sell for her, she saying legitimate that she does not know.”
These same people were more empathetic towards Krystal, saying that they also had cars with tanks without a cap.
“Yeah mine is also like that,” said a commentator. “Weird too.”
“Ford escapes the same way,” wrote another.
“Many new cars have no more gas traffic jams,” added a third woman. “Something new that we can all learn together.”
Motor1 contacted Krystal via the Tiktok and Honda comment by e-mail. We will update this article if we hear.
