Foul smelling diesel / stale odour

[happygu]

Hodge,

I get this funny smell out of my CRD too - I only use BP, so it may be something with the additives they use, if you use BP too.

Yeah a few days after I convert a cat with my Patrol they start to smell bad, especially in hot weather.

Sorry couldn't resist.

lmfao, a sneaky funni is always the best

I always fill Caltex vortex. And once again going back to my previous D22 navara, used it then and never had this type of smell. Every second tank I also use this.

And even with that the smell was not as it is now in the patrol.

On another note I haven't gone through full tank yet with this patrol since purchase, so it may just be the diesel that was inside it at the time. I'll give it a few weeks, then I'll have a closer look at the tank, as somebody else pointed out. Or even the cat.

@ Hodge how do you find the Flash lube conditioner, motor a tad quieter?

That distinct diesel "tacka tacka tacka tacka tacka" sound was more dull after a few tanks with this stuff on my Navara. Also I'm not 100% sure on this but, I think it gave me an extra 40-50km out of each tank. Mate with same engine/navara confirmed the same.

Re-birthing this thread just to update the latest on this. After the new exhaust was just fitted the foul smell disappeared. It's now got that proper diesel smell as it should be. The original exhaust, had that smell coming from the inside when it was off the car so, it must have been something to do with the cat.

I had weird exhaust smelling fumes too . but it back to normal or much less after EGR block

My old RD28T also smells sulphury.. But alot! Could this also be normal?
It runs fine. Stock engine.
