You’ve heard of the Christmas tree, Christmas presents and Christmas carols, but what about Christmas gas?
That’s what holiday pranksters are telling their loved ones they put in their cars as part of a viral TikTok prank.
“Hey, it’s Hannah,” a prankster says to her husband on the phone.
“We have a problem. I stopped for gas on the way to work and they were out. So I had to get the Christmas gas. And now my car is sputtering so bad, I could barely get to work.”
Hannah Crawford, 31, of Stockton, Alabama, heard about the prank from a friend and couldn’t resist trying it on her husband.
The family counselor entered her colleague’s office to make the call.
“You used what now?” Clayton Crawford can be heard asking, according to his wife’s video she posted on TikTok. “Don’t play with me. What are you talking about?”
At this point, he seems skeptical.
“Christmas gas,” she replies, barely able to contain her laughter.
“It was a green glove instead of black.”
“I’m going to kill you,” Clayton Crawford told his wife. “You better go drive that car off a bridge somewhere if you did that. You better find a way to fill it up is all I’m saying, because it’s broken.”
Hannah Crawford assures her husband that “they’re fixing it now.”
“You put diesel in your car,” he says. “It doesn’t help. The green glove is diesel.”
“He fell for it,” Hannah Crawford told Fox News Digital. But Clayton said he had his doubts.
“As you could tell, I was probably fed up with her c, to be honest with you,” Clayton Crawford told Fox News Digital.
“But maybe halfway through I’m wondering if this time she really did it. One thing about it is that it is never something that is not possible. It’s always her, ‘Oh my god.’ You never know what you’re going to get when you answer the phone with him,” he said.
Viewers seemed to be blown away by the video.
“I wish his first thought was insurance fraud,” one person commented.
“The fact that he’s not even in the ‘we have a problem’ phase,” another person wrote.
“Why did you rip Rip out of the Yellowstone atmosphere when he said, ‘I don’t have time for you today,'” commented another.
The Christmas gas trend started in 2023 when a number of videos went viral, such as Karsen Holloway Ward who garnered 2.9 million views when she tricked her father into believing she bought “Christmas gas” that she saw on TikTok.
“You don’t follow TikTok,” her father replies, adding, in part, “That’s why kids have no idea about life.”
“I’ve actually put diesel in my gas car and can attest that not all dads are this cool,” someone commented.
“His little princess you can tell. Very patient,” another person wrote.
While the videos sparked laughter, the effects of dumping diesel fuel into a gasoline vehicle can be problematic and costly, Paul Sadosky, owner of Valvoline Express Care in Waco, Texas, told Fox News Digital.
“It will start because there is still gas in the line,” Sadosky said.
“But once that gas in the line runs out and turns to oil, it’s probably going to start running rough. It will start smoking and the car will start misfiring,” he said.
After all, damage may require a new engine.
Since diesel fuel is thicker than gasoline, it evaporates more slowly and therefore, they are not interchangeable at all.
“But if you catch it in time, it could be just pulling out all the lines and a new fuel filter,” Sadosky said.
“You may need to replace some fuel lines.”
Sadosky added that it’s actually much worse to put gas in a diesel car.
