no fuel part III

no fuel part II

no fuel part I

for the first time ever in my whole life, my car ran totally out of fuel!!! i was driving and suddenly i felt the accelerator lost its power despite the fact that my foot had been pressing very hard on its pedal. actually, the low fuel warning light had been lighting up for the past few days but i took no action because i believed that the fuel reserve should be enough before the next fuel fill. luckily, i still had time to pull the car over to the right side of the road. the engine died and wouldn't start. and thank god there were no oncoming vehicles from the front at the moment. else, the car would have stopped in the middle of the busy road. my wife, daughter & i went to a restaurant behind us and requested for help from the owner. the kind guy offered to help me to buy the fuel from the nearest petrol station. so, i gave him some money for that purpose. luckily, he had a leftover empty car engine oil container to bring to the petrol station. my family & i were waiting at his restaurant. we wanted to order some drink but none was being served yet at that moment because the restaurant wasn't officially opened for business yet. after a while, the owner came back and using a make-shift funnel, which was ready-made previously by the owner, i think, from a used mineral water plastic bottle, we carefully poured the petrol fuel into the fuel tank opening. once done, i started the car engine and voila, it's on! i gave some small amount of token money to the kind guy as a gratitude. initially he refused but after i really insisted, he took it. so, after repeatedly thanking him, my family & i drove off to the nearest fuel station and topped up the remaining fuel for the car. in the end, we continued our journey to our intended destination.
