I don't mind the smell of diesel exhaust. But the smell of degrading diesel mixed with salt water in a bilge is horrible. Reminds me of my college offshore sailing days or working in the bilges on the sub. Hangovers may have played a role in both memories though.

When I repowered, replumbed and painted my bilges in my boat all diesel smells disappeared.
