Question: Will the new fuel smell different (less)?

Ditto here. Except for one addition: I will be glad to use the new fuel, since the refineries will be adding lubricants that won't hurt the environment or my children and grandchildren the way high sulfur would. Bring it on, I say.

monkey, Get rid of the BX and consider switching to a manual, push type, reel mower and a wheelbarrow and shovel. Your children, grandchildren and the environment would benefit greatly.

I have not noticed the odor being any different, but the color is. The stuff we are making is lime green.

Word is some refineries have had it come out sort of hot pink. It's all from the new catalyst required to get the rest of the sulphur out!

That's a good idea! First, though, I'll have to sell this 5 acre property and buy something capable of being maintained by a gas free implement. When I sell it, I might as well offer to sell the BX with it, to recoup my invensment, and the buyer will need something anyway. Oh wait, that doesn't solve the problem at all. I think I'll just keep the property and put up with the polution I am adding to the ecosphere.
