I got gasoline sprayed in my eyes and left ear today and it was at considerable psi, like enough that it would have hurt had it been water. I was changing the fuel filter on my 330i. I removed the fuel pump fuse and started it up a few times until it finally wouldn't start anymore to remove the pressure. Well, that apparently didn't do it. When I pulled the front line off, it sprayed me like a water cannon. Blinded and panicked, I felt my way through my garage and into a bathroom to start flushing. It was the most painful thing I've ever been through. Once I was able to stop moaning after about 30 min. in a cold shower, I called Poison Control. They said 30 min. of flushing should do it and to go to the ER if pain persisted. I flushed some more and my eyes recovered pretty well, but the left ear felt full of water and on fire. Finally it all went away.

Anyway, now my eyes feel a litte dried out, but then I've been wrenching on the 993 and 330i for the last few hours. Is there likely to be any delayed damage? I mean, if I feel and can see fine now, does that mean I'm home free?
