Default Diesel treatment for burl

I am going to look at some Myrtle burl today that some woman wants to
sell. Her father, had treated it with diesel fuel, which she said is an
old logger's trick. I have never heard of this. I know how the bugs
love myrtle, and left outside for a year or two, the wood would be
worthless. Would this cause problems with finishing? I don't think that
I would like to eat out of a bowl that had been treated with diesel.
Any comments would help. I really don't need the wood, but......
