[V8] Evil rotten stinky foul nasty vile "gasoline" residue

[D Morralee]

I didn't know that one about stainless steel / bare skin / fuel , causing a chemical burn !! 

 

When I do any work dealing with the fuel tank : I make sure I'm not wearing anything synthetic ... in the rare case that I cause a static electric spark .
