Im glad you showed this video. When I passed, I realised I was not taught how to put fuel in my car, I had to ask someone random to show which I felt embarrassed. Other things I didnt know is simple things like how to order food on mcdonalds drive through, how to park in big shopping centre car parks ect, its all the basic random things that does not occur in your head as a Learner but essential things that we need know before we get on the road!

Same. It's the silly things like that that make me feel nervous to get car and drive even though I passed my test years ago.

[@kowaretakizuna]

This is so good for people who never had family show them and/or older new drivers who feel embarrassed about having to ask how to do simple things such as filling up the tank. Thank you so much for your instructional videos!

[@worlddriving]

Appreciate you watching 🙂

[@Hellofa6ird]

My family was too financially to pay for photos yet alone have a car, so I'm a first gen car owner at 53. These youtube videos are invaluable to me...thank you

People usually make videos for learner drivers and never really towards new drivers who've recently passed their test. If you could make a series for us new drivers, that would be amazing as this video really help calm the nerves and was very informative!

Putting fuel in is the same, whether you're learning or have already passed. There isn't a different process 😆

[@yeetpea5302]

​@@richardclarke9966Not everyone is taught how to fill up a car - I had 5 different teaching instructors when I was learning (long story 🤣), and none of them showed me how to fill up the car. My fiancé had to show me once I passed. So videos like these are beneficial to some people.

The UK driving test system barely teaches you how to drive😅you have to do a pass plus course to get motorway driving, night driving and country lanes and just have to figure it out yourself when it comes to things like filling up your car

[@Proudarse]

I’ve been driving for over 20 years and even I learnt a lot from this video. I’ve made a few adjustments and am now filling up my car the correct way. Thank you

[@bdothyp3]

Honestly I could not have passed my driving first time with out World driving or DGN driving school. Learning from others mistakes is a very good way to correct or prevent the same mistakes. It was 3 years ago when I passed but I just came across DGN recently and fond memories flooded back. Keep it up!!!!!!

I passed my test a month ago and had to look this up because I was never shown how lol. Thank you.

[@munja1381]

I passed my driving few months back and was thinking exactly the same thing. They should definitely put filling the car as part of learning.

[@КатеринаГула-з5р]

thank you so much! I always felt insecure in the gas stations not knowing how they operate and what comes first - money or petrol, because it's different from country to country. So today was my first time filling up a car in UK and it went great thanks to your video!

[@worlddriving]

Thanks for your comment. Really pleased the video helped a little :)

[@P5YCHO1192]

Having driven electric for a year and now going hybrid, this actually helped. I was wondering about the possibility of overfilling, but this is great to know the pump does that leg work for me

Goodness, what a brilliant video and so thorough, thank you! So strange that non of this important info is even taught in a lesson.

[@mishalacrafts]

This really helped. Been driving for 20 years, never had to fill the petrol myself :) finally did today and your video helped greatly to reduce anxiety on what to expect. Excellent explanation, many thanks.

[@bugtracker152]

Thank you, it was helpful. Watched it to know what to expect on my visit to the UK, I’d probably gone in to see an attendant before starting fueling 😂. In the US each pump has a card reader and we usually pay at the pump - in most scenarios there’s no need to see an attendant, unless you want to pay by cash. You also have to scan the card prior to starting fueling and it automatically charges by the amount of fuel you pumped in, then hanging the nozzle back to the pump ends the transaction, so the following person can’t use your credit card. Sure thing we have 1-2 states, which made it weird by making local laws which prohibit drivers from operating the pump - they have a designated personnel for that. Our gas (sorry, petrol) markings are also different: starting from 87, which stands for regular and with the numbers increasing towards 93, which is the premium, so knowing that the number in the UK is going down for premium is surely good thing to know. Also in the US there’s some corn shit called E85, which should be avoided unless a person is trying to damage the vehicle. lol

As a diesel car driver. I'd recommend BP ultimate diesel as the normal diesel clogs injectors and leads to dpf filter issues. Plus BP ultimate diesel, gives an extra 3-5 mpg and does pay you back long-term to pay the extra 10-15p a liter.

[@TacticalBoss]

Thank you, learning more and more on this channel. 👍

[@douglasmills5156]

Great video thanks. This is the sort of thing that I was not taught when learning to drive, and having passed, the first time filling up was a little daunting. Also, things like driving in and out of multi storey car parks were a bit strange at first, and I would have liked some practice when learning, just to build confidence.

Petrol nozzles are also smaller than Diesel nozzles, there maybe exceptions though.

[@michaelggriffiths]

Ah, i remember those days! Queues for fuel, petrol stations out of fuel, the stench of petrol and diesel fumes, people doing their shopping and spending 10 minutes at the till, or people buying or redeeming lottery tickets for even longer than the shoppers!. And who can forget the obligatory beggars having around? All i do now is plus my car in at home, and I've got a couple of hundred miles ready for the next day. I can charge at a very high rate, so i can add 150 miles in the time it takes to grab a coffee, but i very rarely need to use the Super Charger Network. My wallet and lungs are so much better for it!

[@xCarxMellax]

The fual cap said diesel! ? But you used unleaded ? In USA some diesel is green pump .

[@maheepsangari8151]

At 2:55 the fuel cap says you ahould use 95 RON but the pump that you used says 95 Octane. Are they the same thing?

[@worlddriving]

Hey there! Great question, and let's clear up the octane confusion! When your fuel cap says "95 RON" and the pump reads "95 Octane," they're actually talking about the same thing. RON stands for Research Octane Number, which measures fuel's resistance to knocking. So, rest assured, you can use that 95 Octane fuel without worry. Happy driving! 🚗💨

[@maheepsangari8151]

Thank you for the clarification.

[@Jerry_from_analytics]

I'd recommend not to put fingers on the trigger when you are picking up the nozzle. If fuel hose is stuck or in some inconvenient position you may accidentally push the trigger when pulling it. Don't ask me how I know, it was embarrassing.

[@wongsc3323]

Hello there! Your video helps a lot! I am going to Scotland and will drive there for the first time. When I fill my car, how could I if the tank is full? I mean, will it automatically stop filling when it reach the capacity limit so no petrol spills out? Thank you!

Question at my station if i put the nozzle in as far as it goes the pump shuts off and says to lift nozzle up is there any reason for that eg I don’t have it in correctly?

[@worlddriving]

I've noticed that in the past. I'm not fuel nozzle expert but I think it might be defective as it thinks your car is full of fuel. Lifting it out ever so slightly normally solves it👍

Fantastic video. Just a summary for the future: 1) position the car at good distance from the fuel hose and open the fuel lid (must be ready to plug the hose in.) 2) pick correct fuel for your car (look in manufacturer's manual or fuel lid) 3) fill up as much as you need or stop when the pump stops 4) take out with care, put it back safely 5) go back to the shop, tell the number of the fuel pump and pay

[@davidriley9194]

It either won’t allow you to fit the wrong nozzle or the pump will automatically shuts off and won’t allow you to put any more fuel if you put wrong type of fuel in your car! This will save you money to get your car drained out or new fuel system! Hope this helps!

[@anthonyconnor1603]

Very good video with clear explanations. You said if the vehicle in front wasn’t there, you would have went there instead. What happens when the car goes and you take its place to fill up with fuel, will the car behind you wait until you’re finished or will they use the pump they’re at? Should you be intimidated or anxious if there is a big queue of cars occurring when filling your car and rolling their eyes for you to hurry up?.

[@worlddriving]

No, they will use the pump behind you. By the way, never be intimidated or feel anxious by anyone behind you 👍

[@mooncatandberyl5372]

they will use the pump that you were at. i think british people are known for their politeness, patience, and tolerance to queue for long periods of time, its accepted by everyone that if it is busy, then everyone will need to wait. you will wait for the person in front to finish, and you wont mind waiting, so its the same for the person behind you, they wait, just the same as you did, and they wont mind waiting either. with the queens funeral, and people wanting to see her casket, a lot of the time the queue was 5 or 6 miles long and people queued for 24 hrs, moving 2 or 3 step forward every few seconds or every minute, and people did not complain about waiting. you could walk to a petrol station on foot, and watch how it operates before you go in a car to fill up.
