Hello, can the gas around here have changed recently or something? It seems my truck smells different lately.

Thanx.

Hey John.

I noticed a different smell too. I thought it might have something to do with winter fuel, some additive?? Still has a diesel smell but I DO know what you are talking about, just different. Kind of reminded me a little like a model airplane or model car type odor, can't remember the kind of fuel tht was used in them, but still a similar odor like that.

I've noticed a different smell as well. I thought it was because of the ULSD, but it could be the winter blend. I'm not sure.

Wholly underwear! A few of us have been noticing funny odors. Today I read the sticker on the pump saying it was low sulphur Diesel. But the sticker looked like it had been there for some time.

Ah you dang crazy cracker from Florida! U R right, I will not go back & edit it from "gas" to "Diesel" so all can enjoy .

I'am not going to say it's the smarty or Jr. but the trucks I have been around when they reprogram with the smarty the exhaust smells a little different. Maybe just my nose or coincidence of something else.

I'd say the cooler temperatures might have something to do with it also.

Don't give the dealers any ideas. They will be giving everyone a hard time because their exhausts smells. You must be running a programmer, I can smell it in your exhaust.
