LIGHTER FUEL? WTF?

[stirlinggaz]

hi all,
while sitting on my bike in town today, putting on gloves etc,
observed a young lad, sitting on a little ped,dressed in cut offs,trainer & a t-shirt! ffs!
but anyway he was outside poundshop, opened up his carrier bag, pulled out a tin of lighter fuel (ronsonol) & proceeded to empty the can into his fuel tank!
am i missing something?
i know the stuff is for petrol lighters, but in a 2 stroke 50cc ped?
anyone offer any suggestions as to why anyone would do this & what would be the outcome?
cheers,
GAZ

Spose it would work...

One of his mates will have told him it makes it go faster, but at what cost..... I know petrol is expensive, but not a dear as a ltr of that stuff.

Nahh wont do your bike anygood! I actually tried it in a mini moto before for a laugh (on its own) and it kept fireing once and stoped.

That's brilliant, I might start a rumour that it's easier to pour your engine oil in to the tank and it will make its way to the engine eventually and lube everything on the way.

Indeed, hes probably been told it will make it fast.

I had a giggle today actually about a ped, I was in the Maccy Ds car park on the CBR, there was a lad (who worked at the Maccy Ds) trying to start his Yamaha Aerox. I wondered over as his scootay wasnt starting, Was gonna give him some help or whatever.

I told him about my speedfight I used to have, and that it was un-reliable because it was tuned etc. He went on to ask how fast it went.
I said "70mph at a push, bearing in mind it had £1500 worth of tuning work done on it". And he relied, "Ha, mines faster, it does 85 and its only got that leo Vince ZX pipe". Hmm, I was like Fuck ya then, fix your own bike.

basically its kerosene and while a normal bike wont run on it, its the major ingredient of fuel system cleaners (redex ect)
so if nothing else he carbs will be clean
