An influencer named Krystal went viral after sharing a video in which she struggles to refuel her new Honda car.
In the video, she shows surprise upon discovering that the vehicle has a fuel tank without a traditional cap, which confused her on how to use it. After calling her fiancé and inspecting the tank, she realized that she just had to insert the pump nozzle directly into the opening, something many modern vehicles already use.
This type of system, called “capless,” eliminates the screw-on cap and works with an internal valve that automatically opens when the nozzle is inserted. Although the process is simple and intuitive, the car still features clear instructions stuck on the fuel door, advising to use only the regular pump nozzle or a specific funnel, included with the vehicle, for refueling with portable containers. This system offers benefits such as a lower chance of leaks, less gasoline smell, and reduced risk of damaging the car’s paint.
The situation generated mixed reactions on social media: while some users criticized Krystal for not reading the car manual or the visible instructions, others showed empathy, saying they also found the system strange the first time.
