✅ Putting Fuel In Your CAR For The First Time : Guide For New Drivers
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- In this video I fill up My Peugeot 208 1.6L GTI with fuel and give a beginners guide through the types of things to consider before you fill up with fuel whether it be petrol, diesel or other. I also take a look at and reset my average mpg from the cars trip computers. A common question I get asked regularly is regarding the cars mpg, particularly from other driving instructors and so here it is. Were you surprised about the mpg from a 208Hp car? The video is by no means comprehensive but gives a basic overview. I Hope you enjoyed this video. Please consider subscribing if you haven't already and I look forward to seeing you in the comments section.

Can't believe some driving instructors don't show this during a students learning period
My thoughts exactly
I think its common sense realy
@@Ethankeenan02 Not to some...really
@@dolly7139 its not rocket sience but i do think they should show people how to do it if they dont know or just show them this video
@@Ethankeenan02 Some people are just not confident enough if not shown. All aspects of driving need to be shown.
Check that you have money before filling!
There are probably gonna be pre-paid stations in the future. I work at a station and it infuriates me when a customer forgets their money
Ograws they should sorta like a gift card
What happens when they don't have enough money? Do the police get called? I doubt they forgot, most people carry debit and credit cards now
I usually use my card to pay, but sometimes the card machine at my local garage doesn't work. The staff are usually pretty lenient, and there are 2 shops that are a 2 minute walk away from the garage, so if the card machine doesn't work, they'll let you go to the shop to get the cash out (their only condition is that you have to leave your car there if this does happen.)
My card once declined, and I had to give them my details and came back to pay once it worked
aHAHAHAHAHAHhhahHAHH
my first time filling up today this is so helpful. personally, i think being shown how to fill up should be part of the learning to drive scheme. even if its filling up only once.
So glad you're doing these videos for people who have passed and not just for people who are due their test soon!
Never had a father to show me how to do that.. So this is helpful
Same here mate
Same here to be honest.
How about a mother?
@@unfinishedfootsteps1404 my aunt thought me
Passed my test first time today with only 3 minors! So so pleased. Your videos are a huge reason as to why I passed, they are really helpful. Thank you
congrats =)
well done mate
I had no idea how to do this! my parents don't drive so I'm very unfamiliar with these type of things anyway. I'm currently learning so this was a worry of mine, and was gonna ask my instructor to take me
anyone noticed fuel price?
There is a hook on the fuel filler lid to hang your cap and keys. Thanks me later.
Extremely useful for new drivers like myself, thanks for thinking out of the norm Matt
117.9 😭😭😭 good old days
They never show this on fake driving school!
Loool haha
I see what u did there mate😏
well they show the pumping
@@bermal209 and fake taxi..
in pornhub 🤦♀️🤣
Too many here in Birmingham, with lots of clueless drivers owning expensive cars and lacking basic driving skills and knowledge, such as the MSM manoeuvre when turning into a road.
If people have a problem with nozzle comstantly clicking usually happens with toyotas or fords capless fueling. Lift up the nozzle abit to let some air through as theres an air lock
Even though I work in a petrol station I've never used a fuel pump before, so this is going to be a super handy video for when I pick up my first car so I dont look like an idiot to my coworkers
Edit: as an extra point, the fuel pump may not work right away, as the staff have to authorise it so they can check you aren't on your phone/smoking etc. If you spill some fuel, let the staff know, even if you cover it with sand yourself, depending on the amount they may need to make a note of it. When paying, make sure you check which number pump you used, sometimes theres more than one "silver car over there".
Thanks 🙏🏼 thanks put ppp ppl
Ah £1.17 the good old days. Now it's £1.81
£1.98 here in Jersey
1.17 per litre. Good times ahaha
In case you forgot which side the fuel filler cap is when you get to a fuel station, on the fuel gauge inside the car, there will be a little arrow either pointing to the left or to the right to indicate which side the fuel filler cap is. 😀
Simon Worsley yes or the hose will go to the pump on which side the cap is as well
Not when you're driving a Renault Clio when even the door lock is on the wrong side of the car, let alone the French telling you where your bloody fuel door's at.
Henry Vong omg yes mate😂😂 so weird
If you have a vauxal might be a game of guess. There is the pump sign with the hose on the side where the cap is but no arrow to show that. Just look before you leave and save the guess. In the end,if you drive a car an you have 0 ideea where the cap is might be a good thing to get a bicicle.
jokes on you, my car is from 1998 so the only way to know which side the fuel cap is on is by taking a look yourself ;)
Couple of things I would like to add to this video if I can. You filled your car until the nozzle clicked. That is fine but the pump was at £44.92. You could have easily pumped another 8p of petrol in there and has a nice round £45. (maybe that is my ocd talking) but I always round to the nearest £. Also one last tip, and this goes for everyone. When you fill up with petrol and go in to pay, ALWAYS lock you car folks....always. You never know who is around watching and waiting to see what you left in the car. I am still shocked by the amount of people I see going in to pay and leaving cars unlocked with valuables in cars, handbags, phones etc.
Mr.Mister I
Mr.Mister Majority of people pay with card and not cash so why would it matter on the number? Does you bank account ever have a rounded number to the closest pound? I very much doubt it.
MrRoblox Jones
How can you say that the "majority of people pay with card"? You are just making that up. Anyway, I would still rather go to the nearest pound even if I did pay with card, which I don't. I also only said that is what I do and it is to fulfill my "ocd", which is an exaggeration of course with some humour but you wouldn't get that of course.
when i brim my tank i dont care about the nearest pound, when it clicks its full! but when i just want a bit in i do round it off
Cosmoguy Studios It's personal preference. Not everyone pays by card.
I am from Europe, recently bought a car in the UK. And now I need to go to the gas station for the first time. Although for the experienced driver it shouldn't be a problem; it is, because in Europe everything is (and looks) different, including names of the fuel. So this video is very useful, not just for young drivers but also for EU drivers. Thank you! 🌸
@@gnulectures correct
2:48 never leave your belongings unattended. Someone can take it away and you're going to have a horrible day. Instead, get the fuel cap tied to the fuel door, so you can just leave the cap with it.
Will be refueling today, I'll let you guys know how it went...
Edit: all went smooth, thanks 😂
Great news!!
wow - great car to learn to drive in! Surprised that the insurance for teaching learners in it isn't astronomical! Impressive economy for the performance though! Could you make a video on deciding between getting a petrol or a diesel car? Most instructors seem to be using diesel - I learnt in a ford fiesta 1.6 tdci which did more than 65 mpg a few years ago. I suppose if you chose diesel it would be less enjoyable for you driving the car but would save you a fortune on fuel for lessons.
learning in a petrol then driving a diesel is pretty easy but the other way round could be quite hard for some people so he is doing his puplis a favour by using a petrol and a good one at that
There seems to be an environmental campaign against diesels these days. Tax on them in going only one way.
dsmythy Diesels are better for the environment as they emit less co2 than petrol, but it's the increased NOx and particulate emmisions that cause health problems that people have problems with
I would recommend you get a petrol if you didn't learn in one because if you never drive a petrol its going to be a bit of a surprise for you when you do drive petrol for the first time. I really think all instructors should teach driving in a petrol.
@@gravemind6536 Also, I think they want diesels off the road soon, so either way everyone's going to have to learn to use a petrol eventually. I think people are put off by petrols because it's so much easier to stall in them, but once you've actually got going, there's no difference is there? I also learnt in a diesel but brought a petrol and there was a lot of stalling in my first couple of weeks (luckily never in a dangerous place, and most other drivers were pretty receptive of my P Plates) but I'm glad I know how to drive a petrol now.
That is very kind of you.
It’s so cool how you’ve got a GTI as a driving instructor car! It’s probably a good thing to learn with a bit of power - there’s nothing wrong with a powerful car as long as you know how to control it properly and when it is safe to deploy the power.
Moff's Autos Once he helps the learner understand that their probable little Micra first car will drive completely differently. Number of people drive around in an instructors more powerful car then wonder why they keep stalling their Micra for example.
dsmythy it’s a car. Give it come gas before you pull away and you’ll be fine.
Moff's Autos I was ok. I'm talking about others when they first drive their new car and it's not the same. Something an instructor should mention to them if they have been teaching them in a better quality car. Not to lose confidence in a more unforgiving car.
dsmythy yes. It does all depend on how neutrally driving comes to you. For me personally i was able to operate the car straight away and therefore could easily switch between different cars. I passed in a petrol 1.8 Mazda turbo which was an instructor car and I currently drive a Ford Fiesta Zetec S 125hp. Never had a problem with either of them.
I learned in a petrol and then went to a diesel car when I passed so for me personally I actually ended up with a much more forgiving car, in fact I only ever stalled it once.
Had no clue what I was doing before coming to this video so thank you so much!
Tesco has a great thing where can specify how much the pump will fill your car up by.
Shite fuel tho
I'm about to do it today for the first time as a driver, done it before as a passenger plenty of times.
1.17 for petrol 😭 now £1.90 at some petrol stations
Thank you! About to drive in Scotland for the first time and while there are other vids about signage, driving on the left, etc - there haven't been any about filling the gas tank. Very helpful!
Exactly my case, passed the test but have to watch this video when on my own in the car on gas station. Thanks to you I did it 🤣🤣🤣, Extremely helpful!
This video is helpful as my new car is a 2017 Peugeot 208 and obviously the fuel cap opens with the key. Going to put petrol in it for the first time.
actually this is quite helpful, the most confusing part for me is actually the payment proccess.... the fueling and stuff is kinda straight forward
I was sitting in the petrol station confused af
£44 omg that’s a lot of money
Don't forget that most major stations have extra long hoses and have instructions to use both sides, regardless of which side your filler is.
I haven't forgotten, but both the instructions & the still-not-long-enough hoses are useless when you arrive in a van :P
Regardless of which, those long hoses can mark your paintwork dragging over the car body, which they often do despite attempts to make them not by the pump designer.. so "scroo the petrol station's opinion" & land the correct side, I'm the customer, not them. If they complain I'll go somewhere else in future!
Absolutely BRILLIANT, really clear and SUPER helpful. Please do other videos for complete newbies, you are fabulous! Thank you.
Should you park your car elsewhere while paying for the fuel, or is it ok to leave the car near the pump? Thanks for this video.
Its reasonable to leave it where it is. No problem/normal procedure
Yikes next have videos teaching people how to breathe in and out
my driving instructor didnt teach me how to put gas on a car
This info is incorrect what your supposed to do is put the most expensive in when you got about 5 kms left in the tank then drive off without paying
So the pump shuts off by its self? I was wondering how do you know how many gallons to put in
I passed just this Tuesday! Your videos helped me so much including the help from my instructor!! I have one request, could you do a video about motorways for the first time? I went on one earlier with a friend and I was so anxious, especially when over taking in the fast lane - any video regarding this would be a massive help!x
Keep to the left unless overtaking, leave plenty of stopping distance, remember mirror signal manoeuvre when changing lanes and to be in the left lane if you are planning to exit the motorway.
I'm not an instructor, but I'd say don't take any risks. If you don't feel confident on the motorway yet, or you're not comfortable overtaking, then just stick to the left lane and you should be fine.
Very simple explanation thanks a million
Personally... I'm a bit anxious. And sometimes it is difficult to grap confidence even with obvious things. Therefore even small details should be shown. I had a great instructor and had driven with her about 80 hours. Passed my practical test at third time - but was very close to pass at first. Since i have my first car (bought just a week ago). I feel like need to learn driving from the scratch again just to polish all the technics that been shown on the course. Anyway... This is another problem, cause sometimes we were driving to the fuel station however I never been given a chance to pop the tank myslef. And trust me. Whatever you been shown, comes much, much easier than you need to figure it yourself.
Advice to all young/new drivers. - Once you Pass your test, do not stop learning! read the highway code, dirving guidance books, keep watching videos like this, always stay calm and responsible on the road. As you grab your confidence and experience, be patient to other new drivers that just passed their test as you will help them to gain theirs.
EIGHTY HOURS???????
@@Joe-sx6wb Could pass at the first time but had deep depression after my mom passed away. So took 4 mounths break, then started over again.
@@radarekxp how much did that cost you?
@@Joe-sx6wb You don't wanna know trust me xD. But I didn't care the moment. Just like said I was f**ed. And every hour of driving with my instructor was a moment of joy, she was also a psychologist to me, basically helped me alot. Once I passed my practical test it was a breakthrough. That's why I don't regret any pound i spent. :)
my ex driving instructor (Shout outs to Ricky if he sees this" drove the same car.
Great car it was
I was never taught how to do life skills at all.
Cars can’t undertake you on the right...
You should expect some drivers to be dumb...
I never got taught how to fill up on my driving lessons, first few times doing it after I passed I was so nervous and spilling petrol everywhere but now I feel like a pro🤣
"Good practices".
2:52 Instead of leaving the fuel cap on the fuel door itself - where there is a proper hook to place it - he just places it where you should not.
Just kidding!
Very nice video, mate.
I think it is very important to teach, in a complete and calm way, how to proper drive on the road.
And you are making a fantastic job!
Cheers.
Do pumps always click and stop when the tank if full?
I know this video is old, but im so glad that i came across this. Passed my test last week and will be driving my new car next week. My instructor showed me almost everything apart from filling up which left me somewhat nervous. I didnt want to look like a fool my first time filling up. I want to thank you so much for taking the time to show everyone who came here to learn this task. You have literally saved my skin and explaining the difference between petrol and the other. Subscribed 👍
Thank you so much. My driving instructor, who was a pretty decent one and I’m grateful to him for teaching me how to drive, didn’t teach me how to fuel a car or how the fuel system in a car works.
Hi Matthew, thanks for the video!
For example if I go in to the shop to pay the fuel, should I leave the car beside of machine number 7, or should I park it first in the parking area nearby the shop?
Thankss
That was the best driving lesson so far.
Congratulations!!!! 👍 🙏
Petrol currently 99p a litre due to corona fill up now if you are making a journey!!!
Have been driving for the past 6 years and I honestly wish I had a video like this when I was driving. Keep up the good work :)
Thanks so much helpful especially for getting my self a car its been sooo long having not to have a car cant wat back on road again
I'm going start my driving lessons in two weeks can't wait, I'm more excited than nervous to be honest.
I had to dislike this video cause you fulled it to the click and it was £44.92 and i’m angry haha
I used to feel this way too lol. Mainly when paying with cash.
I'm not angry, merely envious, my vehicle costs almost three times that to fill :(
For fueling cars , best to check the information on the fuel flap for which fuel/s can be used. There are so many options from country to country and can be confusing. Thanks for the video .
161k people watched this video 🤔 wow 🤔
Very helpful gor a new drivers. Thanks alot 👍
Excellent explanation..Thanks for making this vidoe .Sir. 👍👏
Wooow best video on TH-cam.. thank you Sir
Omg even more helpful for me as I have exactly same car!! It might sound silly but it made me more comfortable. Lol. cheers!
If I understand correcly then if you want as much as car allow have fuel in it (couldn't figure out how to differently say) then fueling system automatically stops.
Beautifully done and well spoken with calmness. Thanku soooo much
Remember to spark a match while doing this safety first
Fucking imbecile
@@MarvoloSalazar my name is jeff
passed first time last week thank you for all the videos that helps me alot 👍🏽
Why is there always numbers in the machine already before even topping up? Always worried someone else’s cost will roll onto mine lol
What does 117.9 pence actually mean? How much is that in pounds?
The cost of the petrol is 117.9p. If this were written in pounds it would be given as £1.17 9/10. But since we can’t have 9/10 of a penny it would be rounded up to £1.18 per litre 👍🏻
Thank you so much for this demonstration 😊
And about paying wise. You just tell them the number of your filling station and then you pay? Or do i tell them how much fuel I placed in and such?
Just tell them the number
Has anybody ever told you that you sound like Michael Owen lol
at least he is using decent fuel - esso, and you can use super unleaded in normal car, as the normal unleaded is E10 and causes issues
Only watching this because I sprayed gas all over my self 🙃🙃🙃 like a dumbass
Very useful video.. thank you so much for this. I was wondering how to put petrol on since I'm in America 😂❤ and you popped up. Thanks
Why am i watching this hahaha ive passed ages
Thank you for this - I found it very useful I’m going to put fuel in later and needed some guidance!!
How much is each lesson? And do u do student discounts?
03:56 hey, its very dangerous! It will trigger the gasoline.
Don't be ridiculous, it would far more than that to ignite petrol.
I think you've been watching too many Hollywood movies.
Bruh i spilled some fuel on the car side of the car and had to wipe it off with a tissue :(
Quick mechanic tip every so often put some super unleaded in every few tanks cleans the filters n plugs out
It is important to know your pump number and amount of money. A scam which someone did was to go when it was very busy fill up maybe £60.34 and then go in and pay in cash for someone who has not had a lot of petrol, maybe you only pumped £22.54 on pump 5. Their partner spots the low value transaction and signals which pump number to pay. They drive off and you go in and don't know your pump number cashier loads the pump details that need to be paid, put your credit card in the machine and put your PIN in, so you could easily pay £60.34 for £22.54 of petrol unless you can identify the clerical error. If they are caught they just say they got the wrong pump number by mistake, girl pumped man paid did not know how much fuel she pumped, seemingly no crime has been committed. This has been done a couple of times locally.
I have a few doubts on how the process of refuelling a car in Britain works. In Spain, for example, most pumps at most stations are ‘prepaid’ ones. That is, you first must go in the petrol station, pay for the amount of fuel you want to refill your car with and then, lastly, you put the fuel (usually by yourself). But in this video, it is the other way around: you fill your car up first and then you pay. Could you, for instance, walk into the station in the first place and order for ‘20 or 30 pounds of unleaded’ (like we usually do here) or you just help yourself as much as fuel as you like and then pay for it? Thanks!
I hope this isnt stupid question but I've filled up a few times and a couple of times the nozzle has been stuck in the pump. Like it wouldn't come out of the pump to let me fill up if u know what I mean. I had to try for a few minutes to take the nozzle out of the pump. I dont know what in doing wrong lol. Thanks for any answers
Still confuses me that the black pump is for diesel and the green for petrol in the UK. Here in the US it’s the other way round. Black is petrol and green is diesel
I have fueled twice and it stresses me out cz it comes in portions...i dnt know if its air in the pipe,i end up staying for 20mins at gas station.
Now i dread fueling.
Thank you
2 more things for new drivers. On many cars the fuel gauge on your dash has an arrow pointing left or right. It shows the position of your fuel filler cap.
Also make sure if youre running diesel or petrol. It often says that on the fuel filler cap. Also the nozzle from the diesel pump is too wide to go into a petrol tank.
Any help with the diesal one been to a few petrol stations and the pumps keep on clicking. Even when I’ve just started filling up
Great video, I managed to spray fuel over myself first time I filled up on a driving lesson
In my country there's designated employees at the gas stations that will pump the fuel for you, so this is helpful if I ever get to drive in some other country where self pumping is common.
No nos interesa como los ingleses ponéis gasolina. Si Nos interesa en USA
Thank you so much, I have never fueled up before and I'm slightly nervous, this helps so much.
Heh, this was my idea that I asked you to do back in 2018 and now it has 200k views, sweet as. My names even still at the end of the video xD
Lovely stuff. Hope you're well Jamie 👍
@@Go2DrivingSchool Going good, passed in September 2019, first time, still not confident, lot of things trouble me, but I'm getting there :) Hope you and the family is good too :)
@@jamief6507 congratulations 👍
Do you have to rest Trip A/B every time n do we have to reset the range after filling?...bit confused
My first car is an electric one, this tutorial doesn't apply.
My driving instructor has done this with me she even showed me how to park on my drive.
She's taught you well. Drivers here in Birmingham park on pavements, in between parking bays, show poor lane discipline, fail to indicate, etc. Too many aren't taught to drive properly, if at all.
Literally had to figure this out myself lol. Done everything right except spilling diesel on the car whoops
