Siphoned some diesel tonight from a parts car.....
and swallowed a bit.  Nothing like "diesel burps" for the rest of the evening....

I chased it with about 6 cups of water, then instantly chased it out of my stomach.
Called the Posion Control number just in case, guess as long as you swallow it instead of actually breathing the liquid in, you're fine. Breathe into your lungs, and that's another matter.  And FWIW, it's gotta be pretty hard to kill yourself by drinking diesel....I bet the little bit I got into me wasn't near the bottom of my neck by the time I was on all fours barfing uncontrollably.

If you swallowed a mouthful or more, I'd call the poison control center and see what they recommend you do.
Petroleum certainly isn't part of a normal diet.  EDIT: Good to see you called them. Last edited by ForcedInduction; 08-13-2007 at 01:54 AM. Reason: Poison control center

next time
next time chase it with some Lucas Oil for lubricity, or MM oil as recommended by several here....You may also want to do a diesel purge!
Just kidding, but you definatley win the award for taking our Diesel obsession to the next level. Also, if you have to fart, stay away from open flames.....

Well, I'm happy to say that I'm fine today, and hopefully the smell of the engine bay isn't going to make me feel sick each time I work on the cars. I'll try to remember the baking soda next time.

The Germans made fine autos....
...but God made man an even tougher 'machine' than a diesel Benz!
Hard to believe? Nah! Try removing an engine while it's still running-surgeons do it every day.  Show me the the car that has driven on the same 'motor' for EVEN 50 years of 'daily driver' use without a replacement! Yep, God built a better 'machine'.

Unless you're one of us Godless heathens (TM) who believe that it was millions of years of selection that did it.
After all, our bodies are quite imperfect. Made in God's image? In all seriousness, keep this stuff to OT.

I can't stand the smell of diesel on my skin never mind in my mouth. Yech!
 It takes me more than a day to get rid of the smell on my skin. Maybe it's just that I get used to it by then?
