Smelly sounds about right. The Canadian stuff (or at least the tar sands stuff) is really high in sulpher, too, to the point where we’re a pretty big exporter of it as a refining byproduct. A big part of the reason they don’t give crude to just anybody is that it occasionally belches out a potentially toxic amount of hydrogen sulphide (H2S).
