Tanker Fumes?

Question

This morning I started to pass a tanker truck on the interstate. When I was about 1/2 way, I suddenly became very dizzy - it was like my eyes crossed. I immediately slowed down. When I was back about 100 feet behind the tanker I was fine again.

It was an older truck - plain black. There was no name or safety placards on the back.

Has any one ever heard of something like this happening?

Answer 1

it was an asphalt tanker.guess at the black part.its never happend to .probaly cause i work with it.

Answer 2

Yes I see them on the roads alot and some as you stated have no markings but the next time that you are passing one of them put the a/c on max and make sure that the windows are completely closed and it should not effect you, remember max a/c not normal or vent...

Answer 3

I have never heard of that happening before but i expect the fumes could have that affect if inhaled for a long duration so you must have been passing it at a slow rate of speed.
