In cap fuel smell

I have intermittent fuel odor in cab. More noticable at stop.
Could this be a re-gen issue? Has been happening since new, 13K now.
Anyone else notice this on your 6.7?


Thanks,
TC

Nope, no fuel smell at all. I do get some weird smell out of the pipe when cold and during a regen though. But I think after this summer, those smells will go away...

I have since new. I think its the regen. Once in awhile at a stop. I turn the air to recirculate to keep it out.

I've never had a fuel smell inside the cab but a few times I shut her down after a regen (after egt's dropped) and when I got out I thought the truck was on fire , horrible bad burning smell, like a combo of electrical fire and rubber burning. Only noticed it a couple times and can't find any harm anywhere.

Never had anything described running stock.

Went running on outside air, I can get a little from the stacks in slow traffic or idling, but thats about it.
