Busting FAKE Car Myths on Tiktok

[@the_irate_juan8462]

Agree with the "turn off your engine at petrol stations". I also put my hand onto any metal part on the car before even opening the fuel cap/door to discharge any static electricity on me. I occasionally get zapped but at least I know I'll never go kaboom. 😅

[@AlexMartini.]

You make static electricity by rubbing 2 insulating materials, car on or off it doesn't matter, you will blow up if you discharge it.

It's actually illegal to fuel your car with the engine running in all 50 states.

[@jesuscarrillo4344]

There is another problem with filling up your car while the car is running. You can create pockets of empty space around the fuel pump, making your car run lean or even stall while refueling. My lady did it when I first met her and it litterly sounded like her car wanted to turn itself off with rpm dip. She has turned it off every time ever since.

Abt the gas station one: if turning your car off and on at a gas station is considered “wear and tear,” you should evaluate how you turn your car on and why you think doing so is significantly damaging

[@AlexMartini.]

I think about how Uhmmm…non smart people are and I think the idea of turning it off is more for them than it is for the standard human. I’ve seen some wild people do some dumb things, now imagine them at a gas station pumping a flammable liquid

Yh in addition to the points you raised for cobb, there's a cost factor. Chances are a reflash is going to cost less than a decent pro tune. It's also a nice way to introduce people to the idea of tuning their ECUs. For most ppl 0-50-100 makes for a smoother transition than 0-100 when jumping into basically anything.

[@AlexMartini.]

Always, and it also help prevents build creep. P.S. Thanks for the comment and hopefully sub! Lmk if there’s ever anything you want me to chat about!

[@jonathanpeterson1]

Tuners will also generally take steps to make sure the tune is “safe” and not pushing main components to the absolute edge, based on the components you’re using. It’s less safe and reliable than stock, but generally they do still keep a buffer zone.

The fire risk from a engine running when fueling is more of an issue with motorcycles and classic cars. Modern technology has basically removed the issue, the biggest cause is the larger fuel filler, my 52 f3 has a filler about an inch and a half wider then my 14 silverado

12:30 There’s nothing wrong with running an Cobb OTS tune. It’s just a very generic and basic tune. You’re only gaining a small amount of hp/tq. A huge benefit with the AP is that it also offers launch control, burnout mode, fuel cut launch, flat foot shifting, and many other cool features depending on the platform.

One tip I've found that really works well for getting goo or sap off of a car is to treat it with a heat gun. You've gotta be careful with it so you don't bubble to paint, but if you wave the heat gun around it on low, it'll generally get the bulk of it off pretty well, then hit it with an off the shelf that and sap removal spray to clean up the rest. I did this on my mustang when I had massive glops of sap on it.

Tire shops (reputable ones at least) do not want to sell old tires because they don't want to get sued in case of an accident from tire failure. Manufacturers either. I'm old enough to remember the whole Firestone debacle. They're ok now, tho. Below highway speed, windows down, a/c off. Highway speed, windows up a/c on. Turning off your car at gas pumps will reduce the risk of static electricity igniting vapors, which is low but not zero risk. What it also does is help reduce the risk or your car getting stolen while standing there looking stupid. For sticker removal, I love goo gone. I run a Link G4 so no experience with Cobb. But as distracting as the dude's hair was, he was kinda onto something. I would rather a tuner do my car right, because if the engine goes boom, they might take responsibility and try to make it right, or at least tell you where things went wrong. DIY tune, you're on your own. But if you follow any advice from tik tok, the poor car was in trouble anyway.

What they didn't test with the wind drag, is that test done with two windows down on the same side, with wind/rain guards, it will still pull a vortex of fresh air but wouldn't hurt the mileage much. This is my hypothesis on the experiment.

[@anester1866]

the tuning talk got me thinking. how do you feel about the pedal commander? some people swear by it. i dont believe it really does anything, as most cars made in the last 15 years or so have software that will adjust a certain amount to driver input. if youre heavy on the throttle, it'll increase throttle response, if you keep the rpm down, it'll lessen the throttle response to get better fuel mileage. so, you plug something into your car thats supposed to make it faster, my guess is, youre going to get on the throttle to see what it does.

[@AlexMartini.]

I’ll do some research and follow up 👀

[@Onizukachan915]

They just change the curve of the potentiometer so the ecu thinks you pressed the pedal more than you did. 0 is still 0 and 100 is still 100 so there is no “extra power” there. It just feels like it is because you are going thru the first 50-75 of the throttle in 1/3 of the travel instead of being linear ratio. My BMW has 3 drive modes that actually do remap the throttle and engine response and ecu parameters.

[@tigermedz]

Well this is how my throttle controller works, you got eco, normal, sport, sport +, and race. Each one opens the butterfly valve on the throttlebody to a different degree in conjunction with throttle position, and the number out of 1-9 on the settings determines the speed at which it opens to that degree. And I'm sure pedal commander works the same way.

[@JackPepal357]

Engineering explained did a video on ac vs windows. As for the engine running I literally don’t understand how the car running makes a difference. The battery is always putting out juice, whether it’s 12.6v when the car is off or 13-15v when it’s on. The car doesn’t make static electricity, so I really don’t get this point. There’s a way higher chance you have a static charge than the car

I just think to be honest that hating on OTS tunes became popular on Tiktok and so people started slamming them without doing more research. The person is actually really nice, but a lot of the assumptions just aren’t true. P.S. Thanks for the comment and view my man. It means a lot. Hopefully you sub or if you did already, thank you!

Never in my life have I seen a person leave their car running while filling up. That may just be Germany lol but I'd be too afraid of someone taking off in my car while I go inside to pay or stuff being stolen. Do you guys pay at the pump or something?

[@AllStarrKo]

Most places in the US u can pay at the pump but it doesn’t really matter some people still go inside and some places in more rural areas u will have to go in and pay.

[@AlexMartini.]

Yeah, pay at the pump is pretty common. I’ve seen gas pumps left unsupervised quite a bit haha. I do really appreciate the comment, and hopefully, sub! We drop a new vide on Monday and I’d love to hear your thoughts :)

[@ON-EightySix]

In Australia its illegal to leave your car running at the fuel Station when filling up, same as most countries, The America Government just wants you to blow yourself up...

[@klaspeppar5619]

How much the AC system effect fuel efficiency, is extremely dependent on which car you have and it is the same with driving with the windows down.

[@AlexMartini.]

A lot of variables in that discussion for sure man. P.S. Thank you for the comment

[@throckmortonthebrave6634]

U also turn off ur car while loading gas so if ur car performs an evap check it wont acidently detect the filling of gas as a massive evap leak

[@AlexMartini.]

What cars are these common on? I'd be interested to know.. P.S. Thanks for the comment and hopefully, sub!

Hey y’all I’m the guy talking about the cobb ap’s at the end. First I just wanted to say I was no way influence by other tiktokers my opinion was strictly my own thoughts. I also want to thank Alex for expanding on the topic with a more in depth look that I couldn’t expand on due to tiktok time restraints I agree with him 100%. Also by no means am I a professional tuner or any of the sort but if Alex would like to know more of my thoughts on the subject I’d love to get in touch and discuss to the best of my ability. Thank you for the kind words and constructive comments ❤️

That's fair and I have seen that in a couple other comments on this video so I can understand that. PS Thanks for the comment and hopefully, sub! It definitely helps out and we've got a new video dropping today at 12pm CST!

When I went to Turkey a few years ago we got picked up by a cab at the airport and he immediately stopped at the gas station, left the car running while he filled up and smoked a cigarette the whole time😐

He doesn’t care if he makes it or not, that’s why 😅. Thanks for the comment as well. It means a lot and hope you subbed! Let me know what you wanna see next :)

People who don't turn their cars off then get back in their car just because it's cold and rub their butt across the seat piss me off. There are over 4000 gas station fire incidents a year, with 3 deaths a year, and 60% vehicle fires.

[@Jaaaeden]

He’s a good dude and definitely had me doing some research before filming!

[@tobiasstankiewicz7784]

You forgot to mention that the Vacumsystem is active when the car is running. so turn off the car while filling up :P

[@AlexMartini.]

I’ll try to remember that for future conversations! Thanks for the comment by the way. Hopefully the content earns a sub but if not, have a banging day! :)

Besides dying a horrible and flammable death, you should also turn off your car to prevent potential damage to the cars evap system. Especially on older cars

[@AlexMartini.]

I like it and I’m about it. Ps thanks for the comment and hopefully, sub! It means a lot! New video drops on Monday 😃

[@SimplesolutionTS]

Static electricity fires have nothing to with engine running, as it makes no difference if its running or not. You turn the vehicle off because it will set a check engine light.

[@AlexMartini.]

Does it?! Ps. Thanks for the comment and hopefully, sub!

[@SimplesolutionTS]

@@AlexMartini. if the car runs the evap emissions monitor while filling up, it will detect a large leak (the gas cap being off!). static electricity fires are most commonly started by getting in and out of the vehicle and not discharging yourself before touching the handle!

[@koiphish_]

So about leaving the car on while getting gas. In the Philippines There's a lot of people who keep their car running while getting gas. When i saw my cousin do it i was like turn it off and he said it was fine.

[@AlexMartini.]

To each their own I guess!

[@likenem]

For the Cobb tune guy, Does he think Auto Manufacturers Dyno tune every car? Also when you send a Data log to check, unlike a Dyno, you are using real world info.

[@AlexMartini.]

I’m not sure but I’ll probably talk about it more in another video. It’s pretty interesting! Thanks for the comment as well. It means a lot and hope you subbed! Let me know what you wanna see next :)

[@bmanjohnson51]

I always turn my car off at the gas station… except on my buddy’s d21 because when the starter gets hot it won’t turn on again until it cools off, so the once every 6 months it needs a fill up, it stays running 😅

[@AlexMartini.]

I’ve done it before to with cars that I don’t entirely trust to turn back on ahahahah.
