got gasoline in my eye!!!

What really sucks is when you are siphoning gas with a cut off piece of garden hose and you cant see the gas coming. Not only did I get a mouth full but I swallowed a fair amount. Every time a burped for two days I tasted gas.

I have had gas and carb/brakeclean in my eyes many times. You would think I would learn from my mistakes, but I don't.

The one that really scared me was when a car battery blew up in my face. Chunks of plastic and acid in my face and eyes (F'ing Interstate batteries). I have had two of them blow up on me.

All I can say is flush, flush and flush. I now wear safety glasses more often.

I had a group 31 12V in a combine blow up in my face. The worst part of that is it happened in a guy's machine shed and all I could hear was dial tone out of my one ear for nearly a full day. That sucks.

Had the gas in the eye thing a few times. Trying to pull the fuel hose off a carb in a tight spot and it'll finally let go a whip gas in your face.

Funny, it happened to me an hour ago. Man does it hurt. I had a fuel filter with 5 inches of line on it. It got caught behind the steering post. Pulled a little harder and wamo gas in the eyes. I was all by myself in my shop and screamed like a girl. I can only compare it to when in Jr high I had a can of Copenhagen hidden in my boxers at school. Whell the lid somehow came off and burned my beanbag like wildfire. I no longer carry chew in my underwear.

make sure you run plenty of water on your eye.. i dont mean by hand, i was told to run my eye directly under the water for 15 minutes.. then, rest your eye for an hour or so.. its still gonna hurt a bit after that but, not nearly as bad..

i dont have any tips for your burnt beanbag though.. might wanna call the dr and ask them..

In 1966 I was working cleaning tolulol of equipment from germany and a part fell into the bucket of tolulene and splashed into my eyes, I was alone and had to scurry blind to a sink and rinse my eyes under the water for about 10 minutes. It still hurt and within three years I had carataconas, weak cornias, and had to go to hard contacts and eventually had to get cornea transplants so make sure you get checked out. The one thing I have found to sooth the eyes for any reason is to get a bowl of lukewarm salt water and imerse your eys in for a few minutes, difficult to breathe sometimes in that position but do it several times you won't believe how it soothes the eyes.

Good call. Where do you get boxers with pockets?
