Diesel fumes

Thanks for all the good thoughts on my question.

Running lighter and thus cleaner burning fuel will somewhat reduce stack emissions vs #2 diesel. The US military operates all diesel engines on the equivalent of Jet-A1 . The stuff isn't much more than highway diesel. I purchase it in My five gallon jugs at the local airport.

Back when I was manager of plant operations for a medical center, I had a man working there that claimed just smelling fumes from diesel, gas ,or even new blacktop would make him sick to the point of passing out. not exhaust just the fumes from the fuel.... Have fun and stay safe.....

I was a Captain for 10 years on the Emergency Response Team at a nuclear plant so "farmer fixes" were rarely encountered. My Father in-law is retiring next month after 38 years, a couple decades of that as Chief.
He can tell stories all day of how people with no concept of physics, chemistry, electricity or biology have removed themselves from the shallow end of the gene pool.

My wife is that way, any gasoline, diesel or oil/grease fumes will make her puke. I can set a gas can in the garage and she will smell it and raise Cain until removed and aired out. Strange thing is she can paint all day with oil or latex paint and not bother her a bit..............

That's good for you right? No painting!

She won't move into a house unless she has painted everything. I told her three times not to paint those "ugly" smoke detectors and what did she do? She painted them and ruined the whole set of hard wired 120V smoke/CO detectors upstairs and downstairs. Then she also painted every smoke, gas, vibration and motion detector tied into the alarm system.
There is also 50 cans of paint around that I can't throw out as she's going to paint another room another coat. Or touch up some marks.
