Poisoned by fuel residue :(

[KenoSkir88 181]

Me & my crew used some PET Bottles to fill up our truck. One friend then filled his bottle back up with water, poured it out, filled it again and drank it all in one. He didn't get sick. Later i used my bottle once again to fill the truck, then i filled it with the last 3 "catch rainwater" cycles i could squeeze out of a small rain shower. Upon drinking the small amount i instantly got a funny taste in my mouth, and am therefor poisoned by the fuel residue in the bottle.

 

I'm interested to know any details anyone can give me about % chance to become ill, amount ingested, if rinsing helps etc. I have heard many reports of people drinking whole jerry cans accidentally when refueling and not getting sick. Anyone got anything concrete? Hell i'd probably settle for some more hearsay at this stage ;)

I have used 4 canteens to carry fuel and later used them for water and have not gotten sick once. But they were always 100% full and my health was 100% before drinking.

Junior and my experiences were exactly the same as SAK, refueled many times with our water bottles never rinsed, never got sick.

 

I drank a whole jerry can of gas but it was very early in that being a thing so don't know about that.

 

I have accidentally dank mouthfuls of gas and diesel IRL siphoning and aside from the funny taste and hours of funny tasting burps there was no short term health consequences BTW.

Thanks mate, but i know how to cure it :) I was more asking about the figures behind the system, since i was only one to use rainwater / half filled bottle / un-rinsed etc. Beanz tho :thumbsup:

Ty, very interesting. When i find the tabs i'll do another rainwater test to see if that's the issue.
