Yeah I can't imagine how you could even do it without some sort of specialized equipment.
If there were any truth to it I would bet he was somehow using old off rim tires as some sort of makeshift container, and just spilled gas everywhere before something ignited it.
That's what I am picturing. If I was gonna gas up my tires I would remove the valve core to get rid of all that pesky air, then use a funnel to fill them up.

Florida man has finally met his match (which was then used to ignite the petrol).

Seems to be an urban myth though, can't find any references to this besides this exact meme.

i know that in the olden days people soaked tyres in petrol to supposedly make them softer - for racing. maybe this is what he was actually doing?

Because science ... it just works.

But the air pressure would make it nigh impossible to get the gas into the tires. Unless he deflated them significantly, first.

That man answered the call when someone asked him "Germany or Florida?", and he flew into action. For, he is Bulgarian, so: both.☝🏼
