Chemical pneumonitis is caused by swallowing gas into the stomach, it
doesn't have to get into the lungs.  The gas spends a LONG time in the
stomach before the body passes it.  What happens is there are low level fumes
that are constantly in every breath you take for a number of hours after
swallowing the gas that irritate the lungs incredibly.  It's no
picnic, I had it durring the one embargo when I tried to get a siphon 
started to borrow some gas from a friends car.  If you do swallow gas,
get to a doctor!

It doesn't take much, I swallowed about 1 1/2 oz max and it was enough to
do me in for over 2 weeks.
