5523Pathfinder Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Are you sure you just didn't get a bad tank of fuel with high sulfur content which can be causing the smell? That could of been the case, sure. Most likely, he just had a sensor go out. I dont know about were you live, but here the amount of sulfer in fuel is not regulated. There are usually stickers on the gas pumps but they dont change very often. I know I can smell a bit of sulfer once in a while from a Pilot station I used to get fuel from(I am now boycotting them due to fraud). When I use Chevron, I dont smell it at all. There are actual differences in fuels(companies, refiners, ect). When the smell is real bad, it can be that the vehicle is not running correctly. Most of the time, the vehicle just needs to be repaired and the smell will go away. If left unrepaired, thats when damage to the Cat can happen.
