Running out of petrol is probably the worst thing that can happen to you as a motorist, but the guys from Master Milo worked around that.

So, instead of doing something normal like phoning a friend to help you out, they ‘tested’ several liquids as ‘petrol’ to see if it would actually work.

Spare a thought for the car, a 1.2-litre Opel Corsa five door, that had its fuel tank completely removed and filled with things like Vodka, nailpolish remover and cleaning spirits. Yes you read right..

As each fluid gets poured into the bereft tank, the engine showcases various stages of malfunction and strange smells but in the end, surprisingly, it continues to operate – although not as efficiently anymore.

You must really hate your car or be bored out of your mind to fill it with something other than petrol. Throwing diesel into petrol-powered cars and vice versa aren’t strange happenings but this definitely takes the cake.
