The video appeared on May 30 and likely dates back to the period of "fuel panic" that gripped residents of southern states in the first half of last month. Recall that then, due to a hacker attack on the country's largest fuel pipeline, Americans began frantically buying gasoline, pouring it into ordinary metal barrels, trash containers, and even plastic bags.
But, as you can see, among car owners there was at least one person who decided to outdo everyone. The pickup owner covered the cargo platform with plastic (probably for "sealing") and calmly filled it with fuel. After that, he continued driving as if nothing had happened.
Interestingly, the US then urged "under no circumstances to pour gasoline into anything other than a car's fuel tank or a certified container." However, this appeal did not help much, despite all the danger of the idea. One car owner, by the way, was seriously injured after becoming a victim of panic: he filled 80 liters of gasoline into several canisters, loaded them into his Hummer, but did not reach his destination – the car burned to the ground halfway there.
