I saw this on a car at a red light. It looks like an IV bag with the line going into the gas tank. I thought maybe it’s being used for a fuel additive, but all the additives I’ve seen you just empty directly into the tank.
Should have flagged the driver down to ask WTH it was… Any idea, Reddit?

(Wonder Years music) And there it was. Paul said the thing we all wanted to say, the thing you shouldn’t say, the thing that needed to be said. It was out there and Paul was bold enough to say it. https://giphy.com/gifs/oGO1MPNUVbbk4
I use to ride with a guy who converted his car to propane. He was a salesman for the company that did the conversions. He would stop at a busy gas station, throw a couple tums into his old gas tank, fill it with water and drive away - people would chase him down to figure out what was going on and he would use his sales pitch for the propane conversion on them.
Thats a bag for tube feeds for people who cant eat. It’s part of a “kangaroo pump”. The tube goes down someone’s nose or throat directly to their stomach. I work in an Icu and my patients often get nutrition through that!
It's not an IV bag but a bag but a medical enteral feeding bag. Essentially a bag that holds the liquid food used when someone is tube feeding. More context would help here. Is the car for some sort of home health medical service? Could a be a joke that the "food bag" is feeding the car.
This is a bag that would be used to deliver continuous tube feeds via a pump to a feeding tube (nasogastric, PEG, etc). So maybe someone in the family has a feeding tube.
You're right about what it is but I think it's an attempt at humor. How? No idea but the tube runs into the closed gas cap cover. that wasn't a mistake.
