when you say "no diesel", he definitly thought "diesel empty" from his understanding, hence you need diesel. IF you said 'no petrol', then he understand "petrol empty". its just lost in translation.
It is an obvious miscommunication. I have seen a video where a vegetarian foreigntourist telling a food seller that he does not eat meat ( daging ). He was served fish menu instead. 😂 Because in Malaysia , most understood meat = flesh of land animal😂. People with poor command of English , might interprete " NO DIESEL" = no more diesel = empty of diesel. 😂BTW gas mean gas ( eg LPG), not gasoline in Malaysia.
Congratulations on your amazing adventurous journey . Enjoyed watching your East Malaysia series. In Malaysia we don’t call it gasoline but petrol. Looking forward for your Peninsula Malaysia series.
When in rural, you make a request, never say you don’t want because it will confuse them. It’s like I want tea but I don’t want coffee. You guys were good in spirit despite the diesel incident.
I was so stressed watching this. I was so concerned for you with the bad gasoline situation. Thanks for taking me on this journey. Peace and blessings as always from a motorcycle fan here in Connecticut.
As Captain J L Picard said in the finale, "all good things must come to an end". The finale was not perfect because it was an adventure. If it was perfect then we would have no story. I learned from your Borneo stories; this series made me hop on a plane in March and fly to Kundasang for my holiday, we also learned of a new island you went and this obscure national park. Borneo, as you said -- is just magical. And we all now can see how tough the KTM is!
That is so wonderful to hear!! We can't thank you enough for riding around Borneo with us! We are so happy that you were able to explore the island as well, it truly is a magical part of the world to explore! Thanks again for all of the kind comments and support as we meander around SE Asia!
Hi 2Up, sorry to hear about your bike getting diesel, the old guy mistake! In Borneo or M'sia, the people call gasoline = Petrol, with RON95, 97 etc while Diesel = Diesel EURO, B7, B10, B20 etc
In the end you were right in saying you didn't get diesel .I've done it and only got a mile or 2 before problems . Just very poor quality gas . I drained as much as possible , tanked w/premium and all was fine in 3 or4 miles .
Indeed… after reading up on what happens if you put diesel in a motorcycle, we quickly realized it was just bad / old petrol. Thankfully it burned through and started to run properly by the time we pulled into Tay Motors!
Good job! Adventure bonus points for ‘Bad Gas’ - maybe some pepto next time😊? Seriously, probably clogged up the injector (or plug) but cleared out fortunately. Smell test will tell if diesel, or if gas/petrol is questionable.
i was on a road trip from kota kinabalu to kuching 2 years ago and while filling my motorbike tank i got distracted by talking with my friend and mistakenly took the diesel nozzle and fill my tank. i instantly realised what i did but a large amount of diesel already filled the tank. i had to find a mechanic at the small town and he spent about an hour to dismantle my fuel tank and emptied the content. he had to come to the petrol station because i obviously can't ride to his workshop.
Oh no! I know that for cars, the nozzle is a different size and will not fit in the tank's hole, but that is not the case for motorcycles! I am glad that you realized and the situation was resolved!
Dear lovely couple, I hope your video will be watched by your fellow American. I feel bad when new generation now doest know about Malaysia & Indonesia. Hope you can create awareness for them to know other country well. Tq
I hope so too! We are absolutely loving this part of the world and all of the friendly people that we have met on our ride! Thank you for being a part of the journey!
@2UpAndOverloaded I think it was just poor quality petrol you were given. Highly doubtful you'd have got any distance on diesel. Plus the ktm would have been pushing out a plume of dirty smoke behind you.Glad it worked out well, roll on the next episode x
in malaysia we dont use gas words only petrol n diesel buddy....gas here in malaysia is for cooking mostly....the rental have insurance i believe when u guys rent it...they'll take care the problem u have...😁😁😁
13:49 Why can’t he ask for petrol? The fuel looks like petrol. Anyway he must be able to tell the difference between petrol and diesel. I am shocked at his lack of knowledge. It’s a relief to find out it came out fine.
Been watching your Videos since few months back. And i am current in Kuching for holiday. Nice adventure and hope to see more of your adventure in west Malaysia, coz i am from west malaysia too.
We are having such an amazing time exploring this part of the world! We loved Kuching and it is so great to hear that you are enjoying the ride along with us!
Great Advanture hope both of you enjoy it.. have you visit "Pulau Bruit"? From Daro district at Mukah Division, crossing Nangga Lassa River using Ferry to Pulau Bruit, then continue journey go out from Pulau Bruit at Semop using Ferry Batang Paloh to continue journey to Sibu or sarikei. im using this route to go back to my home town at Serian, always solo ride using my motorcycle (HONDA RS150R). i work at Pulau Bruit to serve the communitiy for 10 years until now 😁 im happy both of you arrive at Kuching safely. Hello from Serian, Sarawak✌#serianmotovloger #sarawakmotovloger
To be very sure if it's diesel or petrol, you can smell it, the smell is totally different. Very sorry that you have to learn it the hard way,well at least you enjoy the ride around Malaysia
You said no diesel, so the guy thought your bike was out of diesel. Just say "petrol" and point to the bike. That'll solve the confusion. But from my observation it was definitely petrol but not very purified one cos it was filled with the container probably contaminated with other fuel, you know what. Anyway, I'm glad that it all ended well and both of you reached your destination. Congrats and cheers from Sarawak(Mukah), Land of the Hornbills!
Strange thing is why you tell ppl "no diesel" those ppl would know that motorcycle only run on Petrol or Gasoline. The pump attendant may even brag to his friends that he filled up a special bike that runs on diesel. Ahahaha
Ouch, that would be very bad. Edit: I heard they are building a bridge over the mouth of the Lupar River. I thought I saw a glimpse of it during the ferry shot.
As someone who sells Petrol/Diesel in the rural town of Sabah, i'm really sorry what happened to you, i think this is the result of miscommunication... Usually people in the rural area don't speak English very well especially the older generation like this guy. 😅
feel bad for you. this shouldnt be. one should know the motor rarely use diesel. close to none. if go long journey into rular you need bring some spare petrol. always be save
Don't think they gave you diesel. I think you got water/bad gas. Diesel in a bike you'll get pinging, smoke out of the exhaust, all sorts of weird noises, and you would have known within the first 10-15 miles. Water/bad gas you won't know until water or junk starts clogging the fuel injector/fuel filters and it starts bogging down. What a mess!
😅😆 Saya tanya stesen Shell yang mat saleh ni singgah kat pekan kecil mana. Kau sila tengok balik video pada minit 18:57. Kau tak tonton video sampai habis @@kommonman.5011
I think you are correct! We wouldn't have gotten very far if it was diesel. It was just bad gas... Thankfully we were able to burn through it without any further issues.
Before coming to west malaysia or semenanjung as we local say, please be aware that we semenanjung people drive like setan or what you would call satan, especially in KL and Penang (source: i am one of them 😂). Even I dont really like driving to be frank. Just be extra careful. Motorcycle accidents here can be NASTY.
Happened to me in KL when I bought a 10 year old used Volvo for a dealer. Got a bottle of Seafoam from ACE hardware and poured some into the engine and the rest into my fuel tank. That thing works wonders.
Level of English in rural area could be not as good as urban area, probably it is a miss-communication, they dont understand gasoline or gas....we malaysian call it Petrol just like British , we use British English. Another possibility is , it was Petrol not Diesel , but because of the way it was stored in the rural, sometimes the petrol get contaminated, this happen most of the time. Otherwise, you should not be able to ride that long.
Renting a nice bike, with all the gears (helmet, gps phone, GoPro, etc)..you couldn't afford to get a small gas container??? You know you will be on bike adventures and there are places hard to find gas.
We plan out our days and where to get gas. An extra gallon wouldn't have bridged the gap between gas stations. We did our research and found this place.
Hi guys. A question for you. A lot of your videos seem to clock in around the 30 minute mark. I'm wondering if there is a reason for that. With only 5 minutes of riding footage it seems like you could afford to cut down the chatter. Just a suggestion.
You most definitely didn´t get diesel into your tank. Diesel mixed with petrol produces EXTREME smoke. Some genius at my THW squad (German disaster relief organisation) put diesel into the jerry can for our two stroke machines and I ended up fogging up Bonn with Chainsaw. That was very bad quality petrol that chap sold you. He probably got the stuff before the last flight to the moon…
Most fuels are dyed to differentiate between grades. But I had no idea what color was used to signify the differences. And, it turned out not to be diesel, it was just bad gas.
Yeah, its wrong intrepretation of English language, British vs American vs local English. Thats where the whole drama startered. Its best to fill up in a petrol station or gas station in Anerican English. What a pity.
We have received gas from plenty of 55 gallon drums without issue. We have been to some pretty remote sections of the world that don't have the luxury of having "proper gas stations"... that's where the real adventures take place.

You were right bro.. miss understanding with miss communication, lost in translation.

Congratulations on your amazing adventurous journey . Enjoyed watching your East Malaysia series. In Malaysia we don’t call it gasoline but petrol. Looking forward for your Peninsula Malaysia series.

that just bad petrol.. the symptom spot on, if diesel no way can go that far... and diesel smell like burn engine oil
You are correct! Thank you for the tips and information!
its simply a WOW!... the engine is amazing the fact that it still can bring you that far.. anyway, love the journey..
Thankfully it wasn't diesel, just bad gas!

Beautiful positive and meaningful adventure
It has been such an incredible journey! We loved every moment of our ride around Sabah and Sarawak!
Melissa, your malay is perfect!!
😊 I try my best, but there is so much to learn! I love speaking with everyone that I can to learn more about this wonderful part of the world!
Should you mixed with the locals I believed that you Melissa, can speak Malay dialect..Thumbs up
welldone. and remember Sarawak Laksa...
We will never forget Laksa Sarawak! It is amazing!
If in doubt with fuel just smell the fuel , distinct difference.!
I have never had a vehicle that uses diesil... I don't know what it smells like 🤣
other word for petrol is minyak benjen in local malay or binjin in Iban...(it is actually benzine)...mostly used in the rural areas.
Thank you for the heads up and translation!
Good job! Adventure bonus points for ‘Bad Gas’ - maybe some pepto next time😊? Seriously, probably clogged up the injector (or plug) but cleared out fortunately. Smell test will tell if diesel, or if gas/petrol is questionable.
🤣 half of our gear could be pepto! I am sure that you are correct about the gummed up injector and I am sooo thankful that it cleared up on its own.
Exactly wat i thought.. a bad petrol and some gunk clogging the fuel pump/filter/injector.. because if it is diesel, u will stall within minute..
i was on a road trip from kota kinabalu to kuching 2 years ago and while filling my motorbike tank i got distracted by talking with my friend and mistakenly took the diesel nozzle and fill my tank. i instantly realised what i did but a large amount of diesel already filled the tank. i had to find a mechanic at the small town and he spent about an hour to dismantle my fuel tank and emptied the content. he had to come to the petrol station because i obviously can't ride to his workshop.

the gas might be contamination with water a lot....

The colour was right for gas. Yellow is RON95.. RON97 is dyed green, diesel is generally clear or blue tinged. Sounds like you got contaminated gas.
I think you are correct. It wasn't diesel, thank goodness! But from here on out we will pay more attention to the color of the fuel.
That is why try not to top up fuel from a shop. I know philippines, indonesia do that out of town.
Absolutely, we always try to fill up at proper fuel stations!

Diesel would not damage your motorcycle because Diesel won't combust, just foul spark plug. 😂
Interesting... I was under the impression that it would muck up the engine pretty bad and need to be cleaned out thoroughly
@2UpAndOverloaded no way don't let them rip you off, if renting motorcycle
Just tip the fuel out and clean fuel line,, clean spark plug , put petrol in and it will start.
Hate it when I get bad gas Lol
🤣
the home town people cant say gasoline...they say petrol...make the local people understand...and say give me petrol..
We will definitely do that from here on out! Thanks for the tip!
There is a clear difference between the colors of Dissol and Gasoline, so why did you make such a ridiculous mistake?
Most fuels are dyed to differentiate between grades. But I had no idea what color was used to signify the differences.
And, it turned out not to be diesel, it was just bad gas.
