Priming the carburetor is a method that is still commonly practiced amongst trained, amateur, and backyard mechanics. This article aims to look at the data available between 1996 and 2004 in two burns units in South Australia and Queensland. The authors were interested in the number of patients admitted with burns related to the activity of priming the carburetor, the TBSA percentage of burns, and areas affected. It also gives numbers of intensive care unit admissions and the number who underwent surgery for the management of the burns. The results showed that between the two centers, 48 patients were admitted following burns as a result of priming the carburetor. The activity carried no mortality during the time period of study but caused significant morbidity. Through the media, the authors are embarking on an educational program to reduce the risk of such burn injuries from this dangerous practice.
给化油器注油是一种在训练有素的专业技工、业余技工和家庭修理工中仍普遍采用的方法。本文旨在研究1996年至2004年间南澳大利亚和昆士兰两个烧伤科的现有数据。作者感兴趣的是因给化油器注油活动而烧伤入院的患者数量、烧伤的体表面积百分比以及受影响的部位。文章还给出了重症监护病房收治人数以及接受烧伤治疗手术的人数。结果显示，在这两个中心，有48名患者因给化油器注油而烧伤入院。在研究期间，该活动没有导致死亡，但造成了严重的发病情况。作者正通过媒体开展一项教育计划，以降低这种危险行为导致此类烧伤的风险。
