Petrolwaale Bhayya |
It is not a new trick for the ‘doodhwaala bhayyas’ to mix water in the milk he sells. Most of us won’t even realise the difference. But when it comes to adulterating petrol with water… I guess it is worth a laugh! You think it dsnt happen???… it does…may be you would have heard it in the news sometime, but let me tell you what happened to my friend…
My friend had some problem with his year old Honda Unicorn. The bike would stop while riding. He gave it to the service center a couple of times… no improvement. Finally he decided to show it to his family mechanic (I mean the local guy whom his whole family has trusted for long). That day, I happened to be with him. The guy emptied the whole petrol tank and collected the petrol in a container. We could clearly see two layers of liquid.
I poured a little into a pet bottle to see the difference more clearly. The heavier one(now in excess) was water and the petrol layer floating over it! Wow what dumbass the petrol guys were! Adulterating petrol with water???!!!… man its hilarious! The mechanic claimed that the petrol tank was properly sealed and there could be no chance of any seepage of water in the rains…I gave it a little thought and concluded that may be the petrol was adulterated with kerosene or something, which may have been adulterated with water.
In the pic, the container was a little muddy so the colour.
Well my friend fills petrol only at one petrol pump (as it’s nearest to his house). We thought of taking a sample from there. Once we do that and find a positive result, will post the details here. Until then, let the petrol pump guy (certainly no better than the illiterate bhayyas) have some nice sleep!

Yea it happens… a lot many places.
Chk this out, a news from just a few months back: http://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20060718/ldh1.htm#3
I dont understand why they should mix something like water. They could always use a cheaper oil, so @least it dsnt choke the carburetors.
Also kerosene has been given new colour to counter adulteration. See this: http://www.headlinesindia.com/business/index1.jsp?news_code=13280
