In the video, someone is seen unscrewing the petrol cap and then placing the cap in a slot fitted into the flap.
The nifty trick then keeps the cap out of the way while the driver fills up with petrol.
While the car used appears to have been a Nissan Juke, not all makes and models have this feature.
The tip was clearly new to many people who questioned why they hadn’t know about this before.

Another said: “Help. Why do I keep learning things I should have know 10 years ago.”
