Diesel is nothing the JP8 they use up there in AK is enough to make you lose your breakfast. Man that stuff stinks even before its burned. The exhaust is some of the worst smelling stuff I've ever walked through. It kind of sticks to you too. Can't get away from it once you've gotten it on your hands or god forbid your clothes.
My elk skin work gloves reek like JP8 to this day and only got a splash on one thumb 4 months ago.

Those guys running the cargo loaders must have iron stomaches to smell that stuff day in and day out all summer.
