Can Exposure To Fuel Vapours Cause Heavy Chest And Difficult Breathing?

I just had one of our technicians go to the hosptial - felt like someone was sitting on his chest and it was hard to breathe.



the 17' Center Console boat he was working on does have a fuel leak, so he may have been around some fuel vapors a little bit.
