Did you miss it the first time around? This was one of the most viewed stories on BT.com during 2015.

A woman driver was left red-faced after a botched attempt to fill up her car looked like something out of a Mr Bean script.

A video of her hilarious efforts to put petrol in her car has now gone viral, with millions of views on social media.

The comedy show begins when she pulls up on the wrong side of some pumps in the city of Volgograd in south-west Russia.

She walks to the other side and starts grappling with a fuel hose because it’s got tangled. When she eventually frees it, she pulls it around the pumps – only to realise it won’t reach her filler cap.

She calls her friend out of the car to hold the hose – and then moves her vehicle forward a few feet. The two women hold the nozzle together and begin to refuel.

Unfortunately, however, she looks at the wrong pump and thinks it isn’t working because the litre gauge and cost digits aren’t moving. Which they wouldn’t be – because it’s the wrong pump.

She then replaces the hose and starts refuelling again – but is still confused because the dials she’s looking at aren’t the correct ones. She then repeats the process again.

The hilarious sequence of events was caught on camera by a fellow motorist who was waiting to refuel. He then uploaded the footage onto social media.

"They left their brains at home,” wrote commenter Adelina Ada.

But another, Olga Zakharova, said: "They should have helped them instead of laughing."
