Everyone has been wrong at the pump at some point.

For a woman from the USA, however, it turned into a real tank fail that went viral on TikTok.

Actually, refueling is child's play: open the fuel filler flap, put in the pump nozzle and you're ready to go.

As I said actually, because the internet is full of funny videos in which people fail miserably at this quite simple task.

For example, a driver drove off with the tap in the tank and took it with her for miles.

It seems to be particularly difficult to position the car correctly at the pump or to find the fuel filler cap.

A young woman from the USA failed because of this.

A video uploaded to the TikTok account of a user named "Janelle & Kate" shows all the drama.

The blonde woman is trying to refuel her Mercedes-Benz GLE.

The problem: It is far too far away and the tank cap is also on the wrong side.

This does not go unnoticed by the two women, who film them from another car and comment on the tank failure.

The Mercedes is always too far away from the pump.

Tank-Fail goes viral: "It must be a joke"

The young woman also recognizes the problem, puts the tap on the floor and turns it.

However, she is again too far away.

It is well known that all good things come in threes.

In this case, however, this does not apply.

To be on the safe side, the Mercedes driver now measures the distance between the GLE and the petrol pump.

Then she turns again and drives past a gas pump to end up wrong again at the starting position.

Further attempts follow before she is properly at the gas pump of her choice.

But suddenly she accelerates and turns again.

Which the two women in the other car only acknowledge with a desperate "No".

Tank-Fail goes viral: with a little help it works

Other motorists have also noticed how the young woman makes her rounds.

"He condemns her so badly," says one of the women when a man is shown watching the GLE driver's tank failure.

But with a little help from a gas station employee, it finally works.

However, it is not known whether she filled up with the right fuel or made a mistake like a McLaren driver.

But it's not just the two women who filmed the tank fail who are having a great time, but also the TikTok users.

However, some users also express doubts about the authenticity of the incident:

  • "Seriously?

    That's played."

  • "Funny video, but played!"

  • "That must be a joke."

  • "Honey, what have you been doing for 2 hours?

    You: I was just getting gas.

  • "My eye won't stop twitching."

  • "I'm not judging her because that could be me!"
