Didn't even know there were gloves, and like why? Is petrol toxic over time or something?

[-] mech@feddit.org 27 points 1 week ago

I mean yeah, not just over time.
And it stinks, and you might not want it on your hands. Also, everyone touches that nozzle and no one washes their hands before or after. It makes sense that there are gloves, I just never saw anyone who bothered to use them.

What sort of people are using the handle that they manage to spill shit over it? Alkies who've gone cold turkey?

What the fuck, literally never seen that where I live

[-] mybuttnolie@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago

never had gasoline on the handle, but when i had a diesel, every single handle was spilled on

[-] Saapas@piefed.zip 1 points 6 days ago

I only occasionally fill up diesel cars, haven't noticed it from a regular pump. Truck and light fuel oil pumps are sometimes dirty though

It can be, yes. Helps if you remember the skin is an external organ.

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

So you touch each other organs when you meet?

It sticks to your hand and smells bad, especially if the station doesn't properly clean the nozzle gun. Plus in Europe we have a bunch of diesel cars, and diesel is like 10 times harder to get off your hands than petrol.

Yes, but it’s even more toxic when inhaled.

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I heard it is even more toxic when ignited.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

Usually used for diesel
