Burns as a result of priming carburetors with gasoline resulted in 4% of all burn admissions to the Oregon Burn Center from 1980-1982. The burns most frequently involved the head and neck and upper extremities. Although most of them involved less than 10% of the total body surface area, half of all the injuries included areas of full-thickness tissue loss. This type of preventable accident inflicts substantial morbidity and may be a major financial burden. Professional and public awareness of the risk of serious gasoline burns incurred during carburetor priming should decrease its incidence.
1980年至1982年期间，因用汽油启动化油器而导致的烧伤病例占俄勒冈烧伤中心所有烧伤住院病例的4%。烧伤最常累及头部、颈部和上肢。虽然其中大多数烧伤面积不到全身表面积的10%，但所有损伤中有一半包括全层组织缺失区域。这类可预防的事故会造成严重的发病率，而且可能带来重大经济负担。专业人士和公众对化油器启动过程中发生严重汽油烧伤风险的认识应能降低其发生率。
