12. inhaled hydrocarbons are well known to be toxic to the lungs
when people drink gasoline or other oils, the main concern is if they were to puke and aspirate the hydrocarbons into the lungs, in which case a pretty sever chemical pneumonitis develops. The GI tract is somewhat irritated, but not usually in a substantial way.
