    If you run I-40 with the foreign produce haulers the smell at the fuel pumps are urine, not fuel.

    Been delivering injection carbon (ground up coal) to a steel mill the past 2 weeks. Have to change clothes twice a day because they turn black from the dust. If I can survive that, I can survive diesel fumes...

    Hell I've taken more than 1 diesel shower while working on various pieces of equipment over the years... And swallowed a few mouthfuls of it as well while siphoning fuel for one reason or another... I'm not to worried about fumes.

    Fumes, go to a rendering plant, that is something you have to get used to

    I've been running diesel power for most of my life. I love the smell of diesel and I really hate the new equipment because it takes away the aroma. I used to be able to tell whether my equipment was running right by the look and smell of the exhaust. Now it's masked. I have had many diesel showers over the years and I'm not dead yet. My recommendation: give your soul to God and don't worry about it...just live while you are alive.

    I've never been able to get used to that smell.
