Batopilas - Arturo's Truck - Getting Gas

In Batopilas, we hired a truck to take us to the Lost Cathedral. Its along another rough road that was too tough for the van we had. Arturo had tied two sofas into the back bed of his pickup truck and he took tourists out to the Cathedral on tours. Once we had hired him, he needed to stop and get gas. The "gas station" was a drum of gasoline and a hand pump. Gas was pumped into a bucket that was carried out to the truck and siphoned into the tank.
