Meanwhile, you can keep your hands in your pockets out of the cold.
But it’s not advisable to try this for yourself despite modern pumps having an automatic shut-off function when the tank is full.
Most pumps across Europe don’t have a lock for safety reasons, but over in the US and Canada, you’re more likely to find them.
If the pump shut-off were to fail, there’s a huge risk of a fuel spill.
The video’s title reads: “No longer freezing my hands this winter!”
While the caption on the video reads: “Use your petrol cap to lock the pump.”
Despite the danger, TikTok users seemed thankful after discovering this hack that could make their lives easier.
One said: “I will now be doing this for the rest of my life, thank you.”
Another said: “Thanks for this amazing hack.”
But not everybody is able to give it a go.
One woman said: “My car doesn’t have one.”
