A Californian man who hired a Home Depot van to move home was left completely stumped when it came to filling it up.
The man pulled up at a gas station, but after hopping out, he quickly realized he had no clue where to find the gas tank.
The motorist was so baffled he took to TikTok to ask his followers for help.
However, before he got a response, he managed to solve the mystery himself.

The driver was left stumped by the Home Depot van
Although EVs have become more popular in recent years, it’s clear that gas-powered vehicles won’t be going anywhere anytime soon, just ask Lamborghini.
Recently, TikTok user @tristan.amaya rented a gas-powered Home Depot van to help him move house.
With the job done, it was time for him to return the vehicle, but he hit a snag after stopping at a gas station.
“I just rented this van to help me move, and I’m here to put gas in before I return it,” he said in the clip.
“I can’t find the gas thing.”
Tristan said the dashboard had made him aware of which side the gas cap was on, but that even after checking over the vehicle several times, he couldn’t find it.
“I’m looking, but there’s no gas thing,” he went on. “I don’t see it. I don’t get it.”
He went on to say that he was about to turn to Google in an attempt to get to the bottom of the mystery, but that he was still confused about ‘why it was so difficult to fill the thing with gas’.
He eventually found the hidden gas cap
However, before Tristan got a chance to turn to Google or even post the clip to TikTok, he made a discovery.
“I feel really dumb right now,” he went on. “I’ve never not been able to put gas in a vehicle.”
But no sooner had he said that than he spotted the gas cap, tucked away right next to the door.
To be fair to him, the gas cap was in an unusual spot, and it seemed that other TikTok users agreed.
“That’s the weirdest place to have a gas tank,” one said.

“Why did they put it there?” someone else asked.
“I would never have figured this out,” a third wrote.
