Is the odor from kerosene fuel any more offensive than from gasoline?
You mean, of course, the odor from the vapor of improperly consumed fuel. Kerosene vapor is less volatile and less pungent than gasoline. Nevertheless, that which causes this also makes it advisable not to slop it about in handling, which its low inflammability permits. It is this odor, not that from combustion, which is objectionable. Combustion itself is more perfectly under the driver’s control in the Stanley than in any other car, because of the pilot, which, properly maintained, will insure complete and therefore odorless combustion.
