In a viral video shared by 张丹枫 on Facebook, residents in Kelantan were spotted using a rather unconventional method to refuel their vehicles, prompting netizens to exclaim, "What era is this?"
This peculiar refuelling scene did not take place at a regular gas station but rather at a makeshift refuelling spot operated by local villagers.
In the video, you can witness a rudimentary setup with several large fuel drums in the background. When a car owner arrives to refuel, an attendant manually connects a hose to the vehicle's gas tank, using sheer manpower to pump gasoline from the drums into a transparent container. From there, the fuel flows through the hose and into the car's tank.
Unlike modern self-service gas stations, this location relies entirely on the manual operation of attendants. Unfortunately, the video does not provide specific details about the exact time and location of this unusual refuelling process.
Many viewers found this vintage refuelling method fascinating, and it has certainly sparked conversations online. Have you ever come across such a unique refuelling process? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
