What I did notice is the petrol engine oil truly reeked of petrol.. very very strong vapours, probably would have went up if I put a flame near it.
In contrast the diesel oil smelt of very little. Of course I am not putting my nose near this to have a sniff
but it was very obvious as I had to try and move away from the super strong vapours from the petrol engine oil when pouring into an old container.Also a little word of warning, I got lucky. I very nearly got a splash of used oil in my eye when pouring, saved only by my glasses.
I never thought I would get a splash like that when gently pouring (Must have been a little air lock/bubble in my funnel) and goes to show accidents can happen at any moment when you least expect. I was very lucky I had my glasses on otherwise that would have been a nasty direct hit in the eye. So lesson learned and I bought a pair of good quality 3M safety goggles that I will now wear each and every time I pour old oil into a container. Like these:
