I was told by my tech teacher that i could be around petty and oil etc for years and have my hands in it etc. and there is many cases where the situation is like this and probs 5 or even 10 years later, all of a sudden you can have a reaction.
And especially these days there is so many additives in petrol.
Also another point, When some of us use unleaded petrol in our old commos ie vh etc, Why arnt we forced to install a cat or anything? and we also use more fuel than efi and put through more fuel vapour than efi also.
Whats the deal?

You're leaving yourself up to all sorts of skin infections like dermatitis and ****. The petrol soaks itself through your skin into your bloodstream and also takes away the fatty content in your skin which can leave you with no feeling.

Yeah you might wanna tell if you get that feeling back in your hands....thats some freaky ****. By the way I pulled my fuel fuse out while the car was running and it didnt stall after like 3 minutes. Should I have waited longer or what?

Sounds more like you ripped out the relay and not the fuse to me :D

That warning about the petrol causing cancer in labs with mice. I have seen that on the Mobil Petrol Bowsers (if that's how you spell it) in my town here. That's really scary. Because I have changed a fuel filter once and copped it in the eyes. I was covered in it. Yes it doesn't taste too crash hot either.
