Been there, done that. I was cutting away a rusty patch in a floorboard with a
side grinder. I accidentally cut into the fuel line and was sprayed, head to
crotch, with a fine mist of gasoline. I tossed the grinder, and lay there with
my heart pounding so hard I thought I was going to pass out. God, and no other
was on my shoulder that day, and I felt the wings of the angel of death. Why it
didn't ignite, I'll never know. Yes, do be very careful.
