Stuck fuel cap leaves biker stranded, passing cops step in to help: 'Very kind'

A Singapore motorcyclist was struggling to open her fuel cap in a petrol station when two policemen offered to help.

The female biker posted footage of the incident from her dashcam to her TikTok account, Monkeyheng, on Sunday (Sept 20).

The video initially shows her struggling with a key in the fuel cap, tugging and wiggling the key in an attempt to unlock the tank.

"All I wanted was to pump," wrote the biker.

Moments later, an attendant from the petrol station approaches her and recommends a workshop nearby.

However, before she could make the trip, a police officer in uniform walks over to assist her.

"Police to the rescue," she wrote.

The officer puts the key in the fuel cap and begins twisting it but it gets jammed.

@monkeyhengg Another suey day in my life 🥲 But thank you policemen and uncle!! 😇😇😇 #biketok #sgbikers #bikergirl #bikelife #bikelover ♬ 오리지널 사운드 - 음악은 말을 대신한다 - sunho974

The police officer then pulls the key out and tries again.

"Very kind policeman," Monkeyheng wrote.

Another police officer joins him as both of them can be seen tinkering and attempting to fix the stuck fuel cap.

The first police officer is seen using an allen key, while the biker hands the other officer a small wrench.

But they are still unable to open the tank.

At the end of the video, another attendant tries his hand at the stuck fuel cap but to no avail as the biker watches crestfallen in the background.

In her caption, the biker thanked the policemen and the attendant for their help.

The video has since gone viral on TikTok, amassing over 178,000 views, more than 5,000 likes and over 100 comments.

Although it is unclear whether she was able to eventually unlock her fuel tank, netizens have chimed in with suggestions to fix the issue.

A popular suggestion shared by some TikTok users is to spray WD-40, a specialist rust remover soak, onto the key to break down rust and displace trapped water, making it easier to open the stuck fuel cap.

One TikTok user commented a similar issue with her previous bike and she realised that her key and fuel tank valve were dry.

Suggesting the WD-40, the user said: "One spray and it’s done."

一名新加坡摩托车女司机在加油站打不开油箱盖时，两名警察主动上前帮忙。

这位女骑手于周日（9 月 20 日）将行车记录仪拍摄的事故视频发布到她的 TikTok 账号 Monkeyheng 上。

视频一开始显示她正费力地用钥匙打开油箱盖，她拉扯着钥匙，试图打开油箱。

“我只想骑车，”这位骑车人写道。

片刻之后，一名加油站工作人员走近她，向她推荐了附近的一家修理厂。

然而，在她出发之前，一名身穿制服的警察走过来帮助她。

“警察来救场了，”她写道。

警官将钥匙插入油箱盖并开始旋转，但钥匙卡住了。
