Noxious fumes can trigger asthma attacks. Emphysema is something different entirely and unless you fill your lungs with a gallon of diesel fuel, you didn’t get emphysema from it
I was transferring a couple hundred gallons of red dye off-road diesel that I had in 275 & 55 gallon poly tanks for four years now, into a single metal tank. Had alot of small pump and siphon problems. I got a good deal on my hands (no gloves) too. Won’t do it again.
I now wheeze almost always, day and night. The wife’s really pissed. It’s been two weeks now that I’ve had no contact with the stuff. Never sought medical attention.
Thanks for any input you might have.
