Ummm...don't siphon with your mouth. And if you did then drink lots of any fluid (but NOT GAS!)

Eeew. Reminds me of the time my buddy sucked down a mouth full of gas while siphoning gas out his mom's car to run his go-cart. He blew big time. I guess the taste of the vomit over powered the taste of the gasoline.

(long time ago)

Well that makes sense.......

How about some mouth wash? Or just chew on some habaneros, sure it will hurt, but you'll forget all about the gas taste.

Go buy a can of Skoal Straight, and put in a big old pinch in you're mouth. If that doesn't work, maybe a beer or two. Maybe lots of cinamin flavored chewing gum.

Maybe you could chase it with some 10W40. That should do it.

Ain't a thing that's gonna help man. And watch out for the wierd and painful burps for about the next two weeks. Go to autozone, buy a syphon, about the best $5 you will ever spend. Beats the hell out of tasting 87 octane for the next month. Been there, done that, and you are pretty well screwed now - till it goes away on it's own. Be careful lighting those smokes, too....
