The COOLEST smell

[Diesel Freak]

What is the Coolest smell to you?



I would have to say that it is the exhaust from a CR250 (or any other 2 cycle race bike) running Trick and Klotz R50 at 40:1

I agree, mine is sunoco 104 running through my 520 sx dirt bike.

I wish there was something I could add to the fuel in my truck to make it smell like I was running Racing Castor. I wonder what a quart of Maxima 927 per tank would do?

LMFAO



I have to agree... ... that is also very high on my list!

Feel the burn!

Nothing like the smell, and feel, of top fuel nitro and burning rubber at the dragstrip. And old garages/hangars.

What Swamp Donkey said.

Just wonder no more why I have three kiddos and one on the way.



Second would have to be the nitro thing. I guess as the grey hairs keep poping out the latter will over take the first.

Defianantly burning rubber. Castor oil smells good to,, but I've smelled so much of castor oil being burned in motors spinning 15-30,000 RPM that it's "Normal" I hardly notice it anymore. But burning rubber alsways has a nice little show along with it

I love the smell of freshly bailed hay or alfalfa. Two years ago we were on the way to Phoenix and I actually pulled off the road to enjoy the smell of a farmer bailing his alfalfa while we were in New Mexico. I though it just don't get any better than this.

my favorite smell is old leather work gloves. The smell of old leather, exhaust, metal and oil/gasoline mixed into one smell. I love it.

Only thing I would add to this is when it's stored in a big old timber frame barn. Makes workin' fun.

Ya, I like the smell of fresh baled hay. Also liked the smell of av-gas before 100LL came along.

Smells I like. .



Fresh mowed grass



Ethel gasoline, back in the leaded days



almond extract



bread baking (maybe it's the yeast, like what Swamp Donkey likes :-laf )



chocolate



oranges being pealed



I could go on and on with this one. Seeing as I'm half blind and deaf, my only good sense is my smeller.

All those things you all mentioned are great, but you are forgetting one important thing, DIESEL SMOKE!!! And lots of it

 

[Rammin On]

There is nothing like the smell of diesel fuel in the morning!!!

 

[joesoot]

A woman after being in the woods a few days/or fresh outta the bano, diesel exhaust, diesel fuel, a field of sagebrush after a spring rain, new tires/tire shops, baking bread, new york cut on the grill with briquets, noalox, the insulation on aluminum 500 MCM wire, old trucks, (this one bugs my allergies but I like it) ragweed blooming, dry tundra, willow & alder, Bass Ale, second hand clove cigarette smoke, nostalgia pipe tobacco, Meguiar's car wax, old guitar cases, smoke from black powder and my favorite is the puke bottle next to the fan under my truck's hood...

I've got two big ones and they are both early in the morning (which is WIERD because I HATE getting up early, usually sleep till 9 am). First is being at the racetrack first thing in the morning. The mixture of the dew, molten rubber (!), high octane fuel being burnt, gear and motor oils, etc is intoxicating!! #ad
The second is first thing in the morning at the airport with the mixture of 100LL and Jet A along with the dew on the grass - brings back great memories!

Just what swamp donkey said, then after that The desert during and just after a rain.

First for me is the smell of Diesel fuel. this goes back to my Grandad when he work for the railroad and would come home with his clothes saturated in it.



Next is the smell of Cam2 purple racing fuel after it is burnt in my race car.

Nothing like the smell after a summer rain.
