Cat. Converters make a funny smell when you get on it, this is normal though. Could this be what you describe?

Re: kerasean smell?

myself i have never heard of " kerasean " , What is kerasean ? did the UAE slip something by america ? oh wait , are you talking about kerosene ? does it smell the same as kerosene ? oh well , your problem may be that you do not have the rubber seal on the rear of the hood . the interior vent system pulls fresh air in from the windsheild base . the wiper arm area , if no hood seal , smell of eng. good luck . ( kerasean ???? )

Re: kerasean smell?

Most people don't peruse message boards for grammar errors. A misspelled word just looks funky though. I don't know, bed time!
