THIS is the astonishing moment a driver filling up his car douses three hooded men with petrol during an attempted raid.
The CCTV footage shows the man at the petrol station before a white van brakes at high speed and parks beside him.
Three men jump out with one running around the man's car towards the driving seat in what appears to be an attempted robbery.
Yet the quick-thinking customer begins dousing all the would-be thieves with petrol.

But then he would have set his own car on fire. A willy pete hand grenade thrown into the van would have been fun.

Because blowing yourself and everyone at the gas station up will really show the thieves you mean business?

A couple blocks away the stressed out unsuccessful "carjackers" decide they need to light a joint.

Different source/header. Some folks may not have thought of doing that. Good flow from that pump too. Probably top off quicker than a tesla. 😂🙌

Since this is in the UK, it probably cost him $100 in gas.
Plus the hose/nozzle had a really good pressure behind it.

The pressure was what caught my attention as well. I doubt any gas pumps in the USA would produce similar results in terms of range and volume.

People don’t know how explosive gasoline is.
Too many movies.
