This is our smiling Sam Cheng, after he successfully made it into the semi finals. This station is the one which they would check the capacity of your fuel tank. Basically, they use a motorized pump to first suck all the air out of your fuel line. You then refill your tank to the brim and they switch on the pump again to pull every drop of fuel out onto an accurate measuring flask with a mark at the 125cc point. Anything more, you get a second check by the Chief Scrutineer Officer (Mr. Tesin) and if you fail this second test, the Race Director will give you a final third test. Thereafter, it is a disqualification if you fail the third test.
