✅ Putting Fuel In Your CAR For The First Time : Guide For New Drivers
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 09. 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.
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
So glad you're doing these videos for people who have passed and not just for people who are due their test soon!
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
Extremely useful for new drivers like myself, thanks for thinking out of the norm Matt
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 ;)
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!
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.
I'm about to do it today for the first time as a driver, done it before as a passenger plenty of times.
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.
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🤣
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 :)
There is a hook on the fuel filler lid to hang your cap and keys. Thanks me later.
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.
Had no clue what I was doing before coming to this video so thank you so much!
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.
anyone noticed fuel price?
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!
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!
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. :)
Absolutely BRILLIANT, really clear and SUPER helpful. Please do other videos for complete newbies, you are fabulous! Thank you.
117.9 😭😭😭 good old days
"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.
actually this is quite helpful, the most confusing part for me is actually the payment proccess.... the fueling and stuff is kinda straight forward
Very simple explanation thanks a million
That is very kind of you.
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.
I'm going start my driving lessons in two weeks can't wait, I'm more excited than nervous to be honest.
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.
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.
Thank you for this video. As other comments mention, it is crazy how this isn't taught as a standard in driving lessons. Even though it's a simple process, this helped me a lot fuelling up for the first time. Experienced drivers may take this for granted! Thank you!
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 passed my test yesterday 3rd time the night before I watched all your videos and they really helped brill instructor and know what your talking about , still going carry on watching as I wouldn't have a clue how put petrol in now haha
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 .
That was the best driving lesson so far.
Congratulations!!!! 👍 🙏
Thank you for this video. I've just passed in August and am looking for my first car but the thing most worrying me apart from how to top up oil, water and brake fluid etc is how to fill up with fuel, I'm scared of doing it wrong so this video is helpful. My instrutor didn't teach me this. Thank you xx
Thankfully I got to drive in a watch my driving instructor fill it up and learn how to but thought i should refresh my memory 🤣 should be something that's taught to learner drivers
Thank you so much, I have never fueled up before and I'm slightly nervous, this helps so much.
Beautifully done and well spoken with calmness. Thanku soooo much
passed first time last week thank you for all the videos that helps me alot 👍🏽
Great video, I managed to spray fuel over myself first time I filled up on a driving lesson
A tip that I have is if you don't know what side the fuel door is on then there is a little arrow pointing left or right next to fuel gauge. Helps when you drive lots of different cars. Also if it keeps on clicking and you know it's not full the try different angles with the pump
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
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.
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.
Ah £1.17 the good old days. Now it's £1.81
£1.98 here in Jersey
my ex driving instructor (Shout outs to Ricky if he sees this" drove the same car.
Great car it was
Thank you for this - I found it very useful I’m going to put fuel in later and needed some guidance!!
So the pump shuts off by its self? I was wondering how do you know how many gallons to put in
Tesco has a great thing where can specify how much the pump will fill your car up by.
Shite fuel tho
Thank you so much for this demonstration 😊
Not gonna lie I enjoy watching random videos like this haha thanks
Omg even more helpful for me as I have exactly same car!! It might sound silly but it made me more comfortable. Lol. cheers!
thank you. going to be doing my lessons in a few weeks and i'm really anxious about these types of things.
Excellent explanation..Thanks for making this vidoe .Sir. 👍👏
Very helpful gor a new drivers. Thanks alot 👍
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.
Awesome! Thank you for this, was scared on how to do this so you have helped a lot!
So glad to Have been able to help you Kwarteng.
1.17 per litre. Good times ahaha
Wooow best video on CZcams.. thank you Sir
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
Do pumps always click and stop when the tank if full?
Quick mechanic tip every so often put some super unleaded in every few tanks cleans the filters n plugs out
Wooow that’s so useful brilliant information I needed that thank you so much 🙏👌
I am so grateful for this video!!!!
Will be refueling today, I'll let you guys know how it went...
Edit: all went smooth, thanks 😂
Great news!!
Also if you forget which side your filler flap is on, usually your fuel gague will have a tiny petrol pump with an arrow pointing to which side it's on.
A little hint (especially if you are in a new or hire car), as to which side the fuel cap is. On the dash fuel gauge, there will be a tiny arrow pointing to which side it is.
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.
Thank you
Remember to spark a match while doing this safety first
Fucking imbecile
@@MarvoloSalazar my name is jeff
Very helpful video.. Love your nail paint
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
How can we come to know that How much fuel for a car is maximum.....please help to identify both minimum and maximum level for any vehicle
Thank you for this. It is very helpful.
That was very helpful thanks!
Really informative thank you
My driving instructor taught me how to do this on one of my driving lessons
Adam Leeding mine did too an maccies drive thru
My Mum taught me how to do this so when my driving instructor asked and I told them they didn't bother so skipped right past that part.
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
Very helpful! Thanks
Just a pointer , theres a latch on the in side of the petrol cap flap so you can rest your keys on the hinge
Do you have to rest Trip A/B every time n do we have to reset the range after filling?...bit confused
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.
Very informative thank you :)
1.17 for petrol 😭 now £1.90 at some petrol stations
Arrow on fuel gauge on centre console points in the direction of fuel filler cap.
Thank u for uploading this vid. I know i asked u for this vid but managed it on my own haha but yh thanks matt
I was sitting in the petrol station confused af
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
Pump measures in liters. Car measures in miles per gallon.
Make up your mind, England ;-)
Good vid, Matt.
lol
@Go2 Driving School. Have my first car and when I fuel the nozzle keeps clicking even when the tank isn't full, it's taking my ages to fuel as I have to do it very lightly. I'm I doing anything wrong or does the car need checked?
Try pulling the nozzle a bit out, even when is out of fuel, your tank is full of air, if it builds pressure its gonna click of.
Its good luck and good for your engine to put some sugar into the tank along with the fuel
Shazzkid Tried this and my dick fell off
i heard that you should pee in the fuel tank also... it cleans the engine
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 :)
