Earfull of gasoline?

[Baron Von Crowder]

Seems like anyone who has ever changed one of those the first time has done it. I managed to hear the warnings before I ever had to do it and managed to get it done with minimal mess.

I generally try to stay pretty clean while working on cars, and getting out of the way of falling fluid is a key part of that.

That said, Ive had several different types of fliuds in my mouth, eyes, ears and nose. I got waterboarded by trans fluid helping my brother stab a trans once. I was holding up the tailshaft as he was stabbing it, and it fell down, with him holding the front up still.

I had a buddy under his racecar either cutting or welding, and had a 3/16" slag ball roll into his ear. I honestly thought he was epileptic, and had no idea what the hell he was trying to do. He was flopping, screaming, banging his head on the concrete, and trying to spit up, and into his ear. The video would be a YouTube sensation, I swear.

..... my budy was like why the fuck are you smashing your head against the driveway.

lmao.

I hate to laugh at others' misfortunes, but that shit had to have been funny.


I would hate to have anything drop in my ear, fuck that. The worst I've had is blood poisoning from antifreeze when it entered a cut on my hand. My whole arm swole up like a pregnant fish.

That shit fucking hurts. Everyone laughs at me when I tell them that the worst pain I have ever experienced has been gasoline in the ear.

Geez, it seems like gasoline is a heat seeking missile for people's ear holes. They should ban that shit.

They are working on it I am sure.

[crapstang]

wow, I never even thought about this happening. It makes sense though.
Whenever I change a filter I stay at my arms length away from it...I hate getting covered in it. It seems to get everywhere too somehow

Well played.

Kill it with fire!

Don't you mean "petrol"?

Not for another two months.

Use high % rubbing alcohol mixed with olive oil. It'll dissolve non polar substances such as gasoline and the various additives.

You could try using pure 90% rubbing alcohol but that stuff stings bad.
