Is this a "how to bugger up your car" thread?

Just came up on my subscriptions so thought I'd share, he started off small by destroying brand new phones and now he seems to have moved onto cars.

I suspect the revenue he generates from the videos must be substantially more than what any of these cars / phones cost. Still a waste of resources though!

I must remember not to put coke in my cars petrol tank then - great advice, even if a statement of the blinding obvious. Perhaps beer would work better...........

Just a bit of fun at the end of the day isnt it? Not that anyone's ever going to try any of the above. Thought I'd share bevause the first video had a zed in it.

Liquid N2 is a bit more than "ice cold" - it boils at -196 Celsius so it isn't going to stay liquid for more than a few seconds. By the time he drove off in the car it would all be gas and I wouldn't expect it to affect the car at all. In fact I would be surprised if any liquid actually got to the petrol level in the tank. I dealt with lots of liquid N2 in my work and it is nasty stuff. He wasn't even wearing gloves. That stuff burns the skin instantly. There are some idiots out there.

And the check engine light is likely a moisture sensor being triggered, as the temperature difference would have changed the dew point in the tank and added quite a bit of condensation to the fuel.

Doesn't burn instantly thanks to the leidenfrost effect, so you can spill a bit on your bare hands and not get burnt.
