[edit] Smell

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

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)
