hey kids
0:01
so today i’m going to show you how to
0:03
pump gas uh i needed to get gas up early
0:07
when i was going to fish with my brother
0:09
early on and thankfully it was early
0:12
enough i was able to pull up set up my
0:13
tripod and kind of uh go through what it
0:16
normally looks like without you know
0:19
drawing attention to myself so so that
0:21
i’m working out really well you know
0:22
there’s going to be a little bit uh
0:25
variations on on it but this is a basic
0:28
way to do it uh you know sometimes when
0:30
you’re when you’re using the pump handle
0:33
uh
0:34
there’s different ways they clip there
0:36
sometimes there’s a clip on the back
0:37
that clips and then sometimes there’s a
0:39
clip right below the handle that clips
0:42
to keep the gas flowing
0:44
uh and then i show you what it looks
0:46
like with that um there’s a
0:48
on the nozzle there’s a thing that needs
0:50
to push you’re not gonna push that with
0:51
your hand you’re gonna push it into your
0:54
gas tank and then push it down that’s
0:56
how that’s how that works it’s just a
0:58
safety mechanism
1:00
so uh
1:01
yeah i think that’s all i wanted to
1:03
cover and you might have to actually go
1:04
in and pay for your gas right compared
1:06
to uh what i did i paid with my credit
1:09
card right at the pump
1:10
i’m trying to think if there’s anything
1:12
else that might be a little different
1:13
but you know nonetheless it’s going to
1:15
be a just kind of a walk through to show
1:17
what that looks like in case you’ve
1:18
never done it before
1:20
but first we have a dad joke for you
1:23
so
1:24
uh did you hear about the guys that
1:25
broke in and stole a whole bunch of red
1:27
bull
1:29
i don’t know how those people sleep at
1:30
night
1:31
ah so anyway here we go
1:35
so it looks like i need to get gas
1:38
a little bit below half tank but since
1:41
gas is so pricey now i like to try to
1:43
keep it filled up
1:44
so if you look at this too
1:47
see the fuel door
1:49
that showed that arrow there a lot of
1:51
people don’t know this that little arrow
1:52
there
1:53
shows me which side my gas tank is on
1:58
so when you pull in you want to pull in
2:00
where that’s on the the
2:03
for me um the gas
2:06
tank is on the on the left
2:08
so i pull in where the gas pumps are on
2:10
the left to make it easy
2:15
okay as you can see i’m pulling in here
2:18
with the gas pump on the
2:20
left
2:22
okay
2:25
to open my uh
2:27
tank
2:28
the the cover i need to actually flip
2:30
this open
2:32
okay
2:33
see that pop it open okay now i gotta
2:36
pay for the gas
2:39
and i just use my card
2:43
it’s actually asking if i’m if i’m a
2:44
reward customer
2:58
okay
2:59
putting my card
3:14
removing my card
3:17
now i’m selecting uh how much my
3:19
discount is because
3:21
i have a certain amount so let me see
3:23
what i want to do
3:40
okay
3:41
so ready to go also you have different
3:43
levels of
3:45
octane
3:46
this is 87 this is 89 this is 92. this
3:49
is just the regular this is mid-grade
3:51
and then this is premium
3:53
i almost always get regular
3:55
and then i’ll add stuff to the tank
3:58
occasionally too not every time
4:00
uh and then you gotta pay attention make
4:02
sure you’re not putting diesel in your
4:04
car unless you have a diesel of course
4:06
but that’s usually highlighted with a
4:08
green handle
4:10
okay so i just take it like this and i
4:12
open this up
4:14
okay
4:15
and then i take the
4:17
pump
4:18
stick that in there and you got to push
4:19
this in make sure you push that in
4:23
push it in put it down okay
4:26
and now i got to select the fuel grade
4:29
so i put i put 87 in
4:32
and then you got this lever here to hold
4:33
it okay so you need to
4:36
push that down
4:37
and then you
4:38
flip that lever in and just let it run
4:41
okay so you just want to keep an eye on
4:43
it too because i have had this pop out
4:45
on me
4:46
but we’re just going to let it run and
4:48
then once it actually clicks off
4:50
as long as i know it’s kind of basically
4:52
full for me
4:53
you don’t top it off you actually leave
4:55
it like that
4:56
and i have on my other car
4:59
i was topping it off and then it ended
5:01
up there’s something in it where it
5:03
built up and then i had to actually take
5:04
it into the shop to get it fixed because
5:06
it was
5:08
not good for it to actually top it off
5:10
so
5:11
yeah you just want to make sure because
5:12
sometimes it’ll top off it’ll click off
5:15
early
5:16
and you just want to let it let it go
5:18
until it’s actually full so
5:21
so now we’re waiting um unfortunately
5:23
the price of gas is a fortune right now
5:25
hopefully that’ll that’ll change for us
5:27
here before too long
5:41
so
5:52
i want to make sure to capture this so
5:54
you can see what it’s like when it
5:55
clicks off so otherwise i’d be showing
5:57
you the pump i can show you the pump
5:59
afterwards i guess so you can see how
6:01
much what a fortune i paid for for gas
6:03
today
6:06
it’s pretty painful
6:09
okay
6:10
so there we go so it clicked off i’m not
6:12
going to touch it now i’m actually going
6:13
to take it out and put it back so i’m
6:15
going to show you that
6:17
here i’ll back up
6:19
all right so you just lift up and take
6:21
it out okay and then you’re putting it
6:23
here
6:24
and just put it back in here
6:29
and you’re done there okay but now with
6:31
this okay so when you put this back you
6:33
want to make sure that you push this in
6:35
all the way okay
6:37
and then you turn it till it clicks
6:40
like that okay
6:42
so when you remove it you just
6:45
pull it out but when you put it in you
6:47
make sure that you click it
6:48
okay because that lets you know that
6:50
it’s actually on there and make sure you
6:52
you make sure it’s threaded right so
6:54
that
6:55
so that it is seated but then also make
6:57
sure it clicks too okay
7:00
now we just close it
7:02
okay so you can see the fortune that i
7:04
might can’t
7:08
okay so that was that i just paid that
7:11
much for that pretty painful
7:17
you see that so that’s diesel and you
7:20
can see it says diesel it’s green they
7:22
highlight it because you don’t want to
7:23
put that in your in your tank if you got
7:25
just a regular
7:26
uh
7:28
gas
7:29
motor okay so we’re going to start up
7:31
the car let’s see if uh the tank
7:34
goes back up the full
7:38
all right so there it is
7:40
full tank now
7:42
it’s kind of run through its diagnostics
7:43
maintenance required but that’s going to
7:45
go off once it
7:46
uh gets going
7:49
got my seat belt light on because i
7:51
haven’t put that on yet
7:53
but we’re ready to go
7:56
all right so i hope that was helpful for
7:58
you like i said you know it’s going to
7:59
vary a little bit for your experience
8:01
but at least this is a walk through for
8:03
you to kind of see uh what that feels
8:06
like and and how to go about that in
8:08
case you’ve never done it before just to
8:10
kind of give you a little bit of
8:11
familiarity so
8:13
alright so thanks for watching and god
8:15
bless you
