cooking oil

got a tip the other day

wash hands with cooking oil prior to handling peppers or onions--blocks the smelly burny stuff from sticking to your hands--i tried it--it works

i need to see if it works for gasoline--i loved the smell from the 70's--today's gas smells bad from the git go

I do know it works for a hand cleaner if you're greasy.....

good tip, thanks. And 10-4 on stinky gas, I can't stand to have it on me. And nowdays it gets rotten in just a few months, making it really bad smelly. Last summer I got a gallon of gas in a clesr plastic water jug. Within one day setting in the sun it looked like Tang.

When I was hauling fuel in WA, our company bought a million gallons of unlead from an outfit calledd "Time Oil" in Ballard (right next to downtown Seattle). The boss got a great deal on it, and we hauled it to a bunch of stores right on the border... when you looked down in the tanks, it was about the color of ice tea and smelled worse than anything I've been around! I got to talk to a couple of the guys that worked there and it was amazing to hear what they said was thrown in that crap!! Ohwell...the Canadians gobbled it up, as it was cheap! I will say though...when we hauled out of Esso and Shell Canada in Burnaby, you could see all the way to the bottom of a million gallon tank of their unlead!
