    is this stemmed from a "i dont want to get germs off it" thing, or a "i dont want dangerous fuel splashed on my skin" thing?

    either way, people need to man the hell up, we have an immune system for a reason...

    the only reason you would is if your alergic to deseal, also continuous skin exposour CAN lead to warts, many blokes in my tafe class noticed by 3rd year they where getting warts on there fingers and arms

    I voted yes to Diesel. But only because I fill up every day. Continuous exposure doesn't do your skin any good.

    i work with worse things then petrol (fill up every 2nd day lately). so no.
    only wear gloves for work. and occasionally if im doing things in the garden at home.

    but why would you need gloves if your not getting petrol over yourself?
    or is there some other reason?
    how about we make the pedals out of sticky rubber and the shoes with steel spikes. at least my shins would like that

    Ando dont lie, i watched you put your gloves on when you filled your car up at the servo on the way to school. plus you have those leather driving gloves that you wear on cruises.

    The benzine in fuel is toxic and you are not meant to come in contact with it. In some European locations there are disposable gloves at every servo to eliminate the prospect of people suing for fuel contact.

    No gloves here...... Only time I ever used to wear gloves was when the old man got me to fill up the work truck with diesel when I was about 10, and that was only because he made me... Diesel handles are always full of shit and I'd say use gloves but on petrol/gas, don't bother :P
