Anyone else ever notice Arabic writing on their gas lid?

[JD Martin]

This morning I stopped to get gas like I've done probably 200 times before with my truck, and while I was standing there filling up for the first time I noticed the back of my gas tank lid has Arabic writing on it:

Anyone else ever notice this? Or maybe it's not on anyone else's lid?

I just walked out to the garage to check. Mine is the same. Never noticed it either.

It's not unusual to see the word for gasoline from other parts of the world on the label. Saves them a little bit to have a common label. Gasolina, essence, petro are also present. I'm surprised it doesn't also say benzene, since more countries seem to call it that according to this map...

I'm just surprised to imagine some sheiks like rock the casbah riding around in Rams in the desert

I'm surprised it doesn't also say benzene,

That's what it says in Arabic, though it's more "ban zeen" when pronounced. (My wife is a native Arabic speaker, I lived in the Gulf for a couple of years but I'm nowhere near fluent and have forgotten a lot of it)

Never seen those scribbles before

But once I was in a third world country and I had to stop and gas up my rental car

It was a bad part of the world so I was more looking at my surroundings than at the gas cap

After I got out of there it didn't take long for the car to start running like crap
Lack of power, stumbling, stalling

I barely made it back to camp, and when I checked it out the next day I noticed the engine looked weird, like all the spark plugs were missing

Then when I looked at the gas cap it said 'diesel' on it


Turned out some third world engineer had put a farm engine in a rental car!

Yesterday I removed my driver's side door panel to install a keyless entry door handle on my 2024 Ram 3500. While in there i noticed gang style writing (old english?) etched in the sound deadening mat material that is adhered to the inside of the door skin. It made me laugh, and I should have taken a picture of it.

At least it's just a word, I can take you for ride down a city block here in Michigan and see if you can spot the writing that is in English instead of Arabic

Must be on 2018 and newer as our 2017 was the last year the wife owned a FCA gas engine vehicle and I have never seen anything like that on my kids 2021 VW Atlas, her hubbys 2024 Honda or on my wifes last 2 Toyotas and if I did I would.....
