Cambodia trouble - Part 1(Fuel)
I just wanna share the motorcycle encounters of this guy by the name of Nick Ray. He was riding a honda Baja in Cambodia, With no spare parts and know nothing about basic repairs.
It happen at night when he was riding towards Kamping Poy. Suddenly the engine dies. He realise that he has ran out of petrol. Easily, he reaches out for his reserve switch only to realsie that he was already runing on reserve. He quickly open the petrol and he realise that he could see the bottom of his fuel tank.
It is a road with few people around. Non of the usual Fanta & Johnny Walker bottles of petrol sellers can be seen. Normally they are all over the streets, sittingon the side of the road. He had no choice but to push his bike towards to the direction of Battambang. Stangely, this is the only road in cambodia that has no sight of petrol. Normally there will be petrol every 10m.
He push till the extend that the idea of buying a whisky and just bang it into the petrol tank came into his mind. Feeling that he has nothing to lose, he did that. He bought a bottle of 750ml of Cambodia finest whisky and pour everything into the fuel tank.
1st kick start.... nothing happens.....
2nd time... no reaction......
he keep kicking and still no reaction.... (Well... I have never heard of whisky can run an engine... )
it was until his paitience was running out and about the 23rd kick... when the sound of the engine came alive again... Phew!!!! What a relieve...
So... If any of you ran out of petrol somewhere in a romote place and happen to have a bottle of whisky with u, u might wanna forget the idea of drink it yourself but treat it to your bike...
p/s: dont try that in singapore.... not worth the money... too expensive!!!
