Hello,

Change brands of fuel lately?  Running the cheaper ARCO or BP
stuff?  Try 3-4 tankfuls of Chevron or Texaco and see if the smell
goes away.  Saabs (at the dealer where I used to work) were terrible
about smelly cats whenever their drivers used ARCO or BP fuels.
Usually 2-3 tanks of Chevron cleared the smell.
