That three day special operation is going well, i guess
How long this “three day” special operation has been going now?
there are people that don’t know that? people that presumably passed primary school? some might remember that from 90s too
The process is different now:
- Find a tall vehicle with a plastic gas tank
- Drill hole
- Drain gas into suitable container
Don’t listen to them, Russian fellows. There is an easier way:
- Stick a hose in the exhaust pipe
- turn on the car
- suck hose real hard until gas comes out
- fill
coffinI mean gas can.
“Russians should all kill themselves” is what you are saying if anyone is confused. You’d be surprised to learn not every Russian person is an evil terrorist deserving of death. Even if you are a Ukraine supporter you know Russian people live all over the world?
To be fair. People probally know the basic concept. But they want information on the best ways, unexpected options for tubes, tips and tricks, how to break into locked gas covers quickly, etc. etc.
It’s 2026. And it’s normal to learn about things online in many parts of the world. And people have grown up knowing they can extend, expand and enhance their knowledge of things casually by looking it up.
I know it’s about gravity and getting it flowing, etc. I learned about it in grade school. But I would still look it up if i was faced with having to do it and had access to the internet.
Got to think about the “average” people you know, and then suddenly realize 1/2 of all people are dumber than that.
Warning: not good for your sanity to do the above
Hey, did you know gasoline has calories? That gives me an idea…
–average person next to you in a mobile death machine
I wish more followed that thinking and chugged a gallon before thinking twice.
That’s the median, not the average
In that case you can put me in the lower median group
It’s true you can pry open the the cover. So that’s limited security. But cars have been putting filters things in the line for years to keep hoses out and potatos or whatever else people might try to put down there.
Of course there are ways to get past these (I assume). But I don’t know how.
I was told by someone who used to steal gas, that these are common in cars now. That it’s very hard to get a hose into the tank.
Easier to steal out of motorcycles (without locking caps) and lawnmowers.
I just messaged a mechanic friend of mine to see what he says. I’ll report back.
Recovering mechanic here. You’re correct.
There tend to be corners in the fill tube which makes getting the hose into the tank difficult on its own. And there is usually a device in the line, like a spring, that allows fuel to flow into the tank, but not a hose.
This wasn’t always the case. Cars older than about the mid 1980’s (depending on brand) won’t always have such features.
That tracks with what I recall from this gas thief telling me. Which would have been in the early 2000s.
Some people were still driving 80s cars but not many.
