Uh, priming bulbs like they use for boat outboards are really cheap and 
useful for things like that, fuel filter changes, etc.  I quit sucking 
on random tubes after an unfortunate incident at work--in the sewer 
plant.  And you thought Diesel tasted bad.  As a nifty feature, two 
tablespoons of gasoline in the lungs=death.  Don't have the specs for 
Diesel, but it can't be that much friendlier.  Even Biodiesel, while not 
as toxic, would still coat your lungs.
