Gasoline burns on hands and arms.

[V8 Killer]

Doing a fuel filter yesterday, had a fuel bath all over myself and my arms and hands took most of it. Once I got done in about 2 goddamn hours (stupid fitting on line was stripped) My arms and hands burned like a really bad sunburn and were bright red. I took a shower and put creme on my arms and hands after it. ( I just asked my mother whats good for burnt/dry skin) It still somewhat hurts, feel like an indian burn. Any recommend anything?

i've never heard of gas burns like that... i get gas and diesel on me all the time workin on tractors and what not and i've never had anything like that

I think you're having some sort of allergic reaction honestly....I've never had that happen either. The only thing I've heard of is if fuel seeps through the skin enough you get fuel poisoning. Yet that usually ends in death. lol, so be thankful...

its possible it would burn you I have gotten form brake parts cleaner. next time I woudl wash it off within 15 min of it, if you get doused like you do when doing a fuel filter.

I actully had to stop a few times, get out from under the car and hose my arms down because of the burning. I just put some burn medicated ointment on it, feels a little bit better. If it continues past the weekend. Ill call my mothers dermatologist just incase..

One time I got hot gasoline spurted into my face, along with shards of glass. Worse experience ever. [img]graemlins/barf.gif[/img] My faced balooned into a grape but it went back to normal a few days later

Agreed, you should have probably put some water on there right after that happened.

water only does so much, gasoline saturates the skin

When I saw the title of this thread, I had to double check to make sure it was not started by MTMike.

That happened to me once. When I changed my corvette's fuel filter (they don't tell you that the bracket can't go back on... :( ).

I got gas all over my arms. It was nasty and after a minute or so it started burning. I had to wash my arms off to stop the burning. That was a lot of gas though. Fuel filters usually get a lot on you I guess.

RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED!!!

Takes time to saturate
