Nothing gets rid of the taste I've done it countless times before. I can honestly say the most horrible thing I ever done was snort petrol through my nose. I was sniffing a pipe in a diesel filter to smell for petrol as the person had misfuelled the car. While I was sniffing the pillock turned the ignition of, pump kicked in and I got a nose full. Not only did it sting like mad I lost my sence of smell for about 2 days.

brake fluid or diesel will mask the petrol taste. lol

Had to try and empty a full tank into another tank as it had sprung a leak... and i had nothing else to use!

Vinegarrrr?

When my brother was filling up his car he spilt it down the side and he said get some tissue and wipe it off please, so i did, then he said "its not even coming off, sniff it" joking around, thinking i new better than that, i just forgot myself and took a big old breath, then i fainted, i could smell it for the next 2 days. Not Cool.

How about trying some strong food like Curry or somthing? Those packet ones that you put in the microwave really stink, so im guessing they have quite an overpowing taste aswell?

A bit like whiskey, it's an accquired taste.

You need to drink more!

Happened to me when I was trying to siphon petrol from the tank before changing the fuel sender.
Not sure anything will get rid the taste although chili might be worth a try....

Strike a match with your teeth?

No that wasn't to be taken seriously at all!

Erm, well I should imagine the unpleasant taste will go soon enough, if not pay your doctor a visit just in case?

The taste is very very difficult to get rid of. Its happened to me a few times, its awful when you burp and you can taste the petrol again

Petrol wont hurt you as long as it doesnt't make you cough.
