There's a tiger no chassi
What does it mean "there's a tiger no chassi"? I heard this expression in the lyrics of a song called "É fim do mês" by Raul Seixas. I'll write some lines below:
No posto esso encho o tanque do meu carrinho
Bebo em troca meu cafezinho, cortesia da matriz
"There's a tiger no chassis"

Notice that Raul mentions the Esso gas station (posto esso) in the lyrics of the song. In the 1960's Esso (now called Exxon in the USA) had a tiger as as company mascot. At that time Esso had an advertising slogan "Put a tiger in your tank". I don't know if that slogan was used in Brazil.

It means something like "there's a tiger on the loose".
