Smelly oil

in THE MAIN WALL
Hi,
We do lots of service work and have noticed some oil that really reeks! I actually recieved a headache from the smell. After some investigation it was found that the customers with the smell in their oil had all bought from the same supplier. I was told by a friend that works for an oil supplier that it is caused by high sulpher content in the fuel. Any comments?
Thanx, Gary
