The guys in our boiler plant love that diesel smell...takes them back to their Navy days, I reckon...Full steam ahead! WD-40 takes me back to childhood, working on stuff with my Grandfather. I think WD40 should be made into a cologne! Eau de wd-forty? http://tinyurl.com/l9kyr On 5/30/06, Zeke

Could there be some other explanation than the biodiesel? Or is it just his biodiesel? How would you make biodiesel that makes the exhaust stink? Unwashed fuel has a tart smell in comparison to washed fuel. Todd Swearingen Keith Addison wrote: Hi Zeke Lot of school busses are

It's kind of acrid in comparison to washed fuel. Soaps, methanol and glycerol being the culprits. All things are relative. Some people love the smell of diesel fuel burning in the morning. (Paraphrased from the movie Apocalyse Now.) Todd Swearingen Keith Addison wrote: Could there be some
