2011 SHO Driver Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I know this is going to be somewhat vague, but i'm experiencing a natural gas odor when my windows are down every so often after driving and come to a stop such as a stop light, where i sit for a couple of minutes. I have had this car for about 3 months and have smelled it off and on, initially thinking it was somewhere in the interior, but never really thought much of it, but the more i smell it the more i question it ? Again the best way i can describe it is a natural gas smell ?.....Catalytic converter maybe , but those usually have a sulfur smell ?

mjhpadi Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Maybe in the old days the cat converter had a sulfury (?) smell, but know when I get behind a car that is laboring on a long, steep hill,,,,the smell is different...guess you could say it's kinda like a natural gas order...but are you sure to order is from your car or from one around you? I have never really had any strange smell from my car, but I know when I have my window down, sometimes I even get a wife of cigarette smell if a car with a smoking driver passes or is in front of me....

2011 SHO Driver Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 The only reason i say it is definitely from my car is that i smell the exact same smell each time. ? Im going to begin to pay more attention and see if i can identify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Maybe when you smell it (if possible) get out of the car and see if it gets stronger around the exhaust in the rear of the car....may help identify if it's coming from the exhaust or from some other area.

Showgun Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 LOL yeah that sulphur smell could be overpowering at times -=:RpS_tongue:=-- but seriously, It's got to be the exhaust and if the cats get messed up they can give off that kind of stench......Next time you notice it go sniff the e/pipes..... If it's not that then check your drawers for 'lumps'.....:RpS_tongue: C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2011 SHO Driver Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 LOL....seems I've opened a can of worms here......and people will defnitely wonder if they see me sniffing my exhaust at each stop light I smelled it again this morning on the way to work, just off the highway, sitting at a stop light, windows down...definitely a slight Natural gas smell.

Showgun Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 LOL yeah a can of something ..... :hurt: -- Have the dealer sniff out the offending area -- I expect it's exhaust which (to me) points to cats. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
