Yes, I feel that you've been sniffing WAY to much, of too many different things, and it's without question that it's effecting your head....

I'm not huffing it ... just taking a light whiff near fill-hole while its filling. Not getting anywhere near the fumes I'd get while, say, changing a fuel filter or return line ... or even just getting diesel on my hands at a messy pump (something that happens a lot if you use a station where work trucks stop frequently ... those fellas are not always anally tidy like me ). Now, one time I dumped a large portion of diesel on my shoe and actually had to stop wearing those shoes for about a week ... the smell of the shoe would actually make me dizzy when I sat at work with it on. Eventually just left the shoe outside for a couple days until it defumed a bit.

the smell of diesel (burnt and unburnt) is one of the best odors around, of course i am partial though.

you know i live in new jersey so they dont let me touch the pumps, but in penn where i fuel, the handle for the diesel is red at the sunoco...eh

are you aware, that if you drive diesel, you ARE allowed to pump your own fuel in NJ?

I know you can at truck stops, but is that also true at small stations? Not that I go to NJ a lot. I so infrequently use full service I almost son't know what to do when I get to such a station. One time I stopped at a full service station in New York in my Jeep, and it took me a few minutes to PROVE to the attendant that my car was a diesel ... "You mean gas, right?" .... "No, diesel please" ... "Really, you want diesel? You're SURE this is a diesel?" ... finally had to show him the green cap that says "diesel fuel only" ... LOL At least he cared enough to be extra sure, though. He was pretty impressed by the car once he saw it really was a diesel.
