Man Filling Petrol Tank With Cooking Oil As Petrol Prices Surge

Mark Rainford caught the man in the act and began filming, 

He posted the video to Facebook with the caption: "What fuel prices". 

Mark He told Cheshire Live: "I filmed it and as I walked past him he was taking all the tops off the bottles first, that's what made me laugh. He had clearly thought it through." 

Car owners have been warned against putting cooking oil into their car's petrol tank as it can severely damage the engine.
