If it smells like rotten eggs or sulfur it's the fuel being used. Try this.

1. Switch to a different brand of fuel and drive the vehicle for at least 100 miles. Monitor the decrease or increase in sulfur smell.

2. Do not add any type of 'fuel additive' as this could add sulfur to the fuel and cause/increase the odor.

3. Try to avoid extended periods of short trip driving or aggressive acceleration.

4.Request information from your local fuel dealers on the amounts of sulfur in their gasoline. Try to use fuel containing the lowest amounts of sulfur.

Hope this helps.
