California has several hundred naturally occurring seeps, found in 28 counties across the state. Much of the petroleum discovered in California during the 19th century was from observations of seeps. The world's largest natural oil seepage is Coal Oil Point in the Santa Barbara Channel, California.
I just bought a 1990 CRX Si. Drove it home with no problems, with the exception of a few misshifts (i'm used to automatics). After I get to my location and try to restart it it wont start and I start smelling what smells an awful lot like burnt off fireworks, or sulfur. Eventually get it started, it runs rough, smoke coming out of pipe seams, exhaust rattling.
We like the smell because we have come to associate it with summer and weekends. You are smelling a mixture of oxygenated hydrocarbons that include methanol, ethanol, acetaldehyde and acetone, called green leaf volatiles (GLV). We like the smell because we have come to associate it with summer and weekends. The smell isnât just an accidental by-product of the cut leaves, however. There is some evidence that plants deliberately emit volatile compounds in response to damage. Wild tobacco plants, for example, emit a certain GLV only when they are being grazed by caterpillars.
