When I picked up the patrol almost 2 weeks ago, the very next morning I noticed a rather foul smell coming out of the exhaust. Very hard to describe, almost like a stale / old paint smell. I'm not sure what exactly it smells like. It's definitely not the usual diesel exhaust fumes you would smell.
Stale diesel ??? I've barely gone through a whole tank since picking it up.
Some googling reveals this could be due to the diesel spending way too much time in the tank, vehicle may have been idle for a long time.
Should I dump it completely and re-fill to flush the tanks or should it go away after a few fills ? Main concern is if there is something not right with the diesel, the very sensitive common rail pump will not like it and cause dramas down the line....
Thoughts?
