Smell

Does whale oil smell bad when burned? Is it smokeless as I've heard someone claim? Please respond. I'm curious.

Norwegian

We should erase the Norwegian link, as it refers to "Tran", which is cod liver oil, not anything extracted from whales. It should direct to "Hvalolje" in Norwegian. --Henrik46 (talk) 02:14, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Train Oil

Smollett refers to Train-Oil in his 1748 novel Roderick Random, book II, chapter called Siege of St. Lazar, p 114 in the very old edition I am looking at. Middle English Trane? tear drop. The oil is pressed drop by drop supposedly? CharlesKiddell (talk) 06:26, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
