Gung Aji is dealing with a public relations crisis; sitting on a stool outside his tiny kiosk on a dusty track in Bunbungan village in Semarapura, a public-transport hub in southeast Bali, he is anxious to clear his name of accusations he sells dirty fuel.
'It was my assistant who was mixing the fuel and as soon as I found out about it, I fired him,' he said.
'I do not want to upset my customers, my livelihood depends on them.'
Mr Aji (an alias) typically earns about 300,000 rupiah (HK$253) a month to support his wife and three children, of which 90,000 comes from selling petrol in two-litre bottles for motorbikes and other vehicles such as tractors.
He does roaring business, as the nearest petrol station is 15km away.
However, his fuel sales dropped recently as word spread that he was not selling pure petrol.
'After I bought petrol from his shop, my bike broke down and the mechanic said it was because of dirty fuel in the engine,' Wayan Degdeg said.
