Smell,

[Mattcourier007]

Hi all, I’ve trawled the net and can’t find an answer to my question so posting here as I’m at the end of my tether, there is a smell of canibis coming from the front of the van, it’s a transit t350 64 plate, I’ve taken it to garages who keep telling me there’s nothing to worry about, the smell is that strong that people can smell it in the street when I pull up and if i inhale the smell I nearly pass out,
Please can someone help me as I feel that I could be doing myself long term damage.
Please no smart quips about “ have I got some weed stashed” I’ve heard all this a million times over the past few weeks from garages and people I’ve asked.

Are you sure it’s not anti freeze leaking or batteries over changeing you can smell I’ve noticed on my van if I move location on a car rally due to stage rout changing and don’t get it up to temp it smells like it’s leaking anti freeze mine is Euro 6 I put it down to dpf and if it injects add blue before it is upto temp it’s not burning it off when it’s hot it’s ok

Just run a voltmeter across the battery/s while the engine is running, if it's more than ~14.4-ish volts,, you may be overcharging and killing the batteries and causing the smell. If so the regulator in the alternator may be duff.
