How many of you use those plastic gloves fueling up?`
 

Have you ever noticed how many people use those disposal gloves at the
gas station when they fuel up? I was how many of you manly men use
them.
I had a lady ask me if it bothered to get that nasty old Diesel on my
hands? I told her no, I just rub my hands together and then run them
through my hair to keep it in place:D.

I know this one dude using them gloves. he's gay. but he really takes care of his hands, see.

I use them to work on the fleet, but don't practice safe fueling.......

I always used a bunch of paper towels when refueling instead of those "sissy" gloves.

I use th paper towels too. But not on my hands, I just put them below the filler to keep diesel from dripping down the paint, my hands are 18 years old, they can take the diesel, that paints only 2 months old, to me it just makes sense.:freak:

gloves? please. i seen a few people using them and i thought..why? its not going to burn your hands or disintegrate them .. wimps.

i agree with this totally its not dino in liquid form, its burnt dino that hurts you.

They don't want the diesel smell on their hands. It seems to make sense, considering these cars were originally bought by businessmen who couldn't walk back into the corporate office smelling like diesel. I don't care how much you like the smell of diesel, it's just not professional.

If they have a glove, I use it. I also use Stanadyne at every fill up and that stuff stinks like heck. I always use those blue paper towels. I don't like getting diesel on my steering wheel.

I always use the gloves. Diesel smells disgusting and I don't want it in my car or on my clothes.

If they are available, almost never, I use them. Otherwise I look carefully at the filler and if the handle is wet I use a towell.

Gentlemen (and ladies!), don your gloves
 

I carry a pair of work gloves in the car and usually wear them while fueling. Some of the nozzles can get pretty cruddy, especially if the seals are being eaten by biodiesel.

Let's hear from the Oregonadians -- do you wear gloves while the attendant pumps your tank??? :D

If I was to wear gloves, it would be to avoid micro-organisms living on the nozzle!!!

The first time I refueled in Oregon, I thought I was going to need boxing gloves. I did not know about their "no self service" policy. The station owner went ballistic when I touched his pump.

Why is there no self serve? I can't even imagine what it looks like to have somebody pump your gas. What about after midnight if you have to fill up? Is somebody available that late????

No, the pump I always use is kept pretty clean. I grab some paper towls from the dispenser and hold it with them.

I don't mind the smell of diesel, but while I'm working I don't want it on my clothing.

The problem with gloves is the powder thats inside them. You need to wash your hands after using them or you risk getting that white powder over your nice blue sport coat.
