Got a really bad burnt gas smell coming from the exhaust, Could it be: -Stale Fuel? -Watery Fuel? Or what do you guys think it could be? Cheers!

smells like fuel? could be running a little rich get the timing checked and also try get a tank of 95 octane, vls arent happy on 91 mate Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

If the cars been sitting for more than 3 months and its had <98 octane in it, empty the tank out, put some fresh premium in it and see if that makes a difference

Does it smell like a old holden? odds are your catalytic converter is shagged

Gas smell out of exhaust. Stop eating the spicy curries. In all serious though, exhausts often smell like burnt/unburnt fuel. If its smelling like rotten egg gas, sulphur smell. It's likely that the cat has had it.

Your cat is probably rooted given the age of the car, but exhausts aren't known for smelling pretty.

My bad for the late reply, I've been pretty full on this past two weeks :/ ---------- Post added 10-10-13 at 19:05 ---------- Ever since the motor was washed, it's been running rough until it had enough and wouldn't start, I've checked all dizzy leads and they're fine. Changed the dizzy cap and it too is fine, this is frustrating! -.- Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Washing the motor was a mistake, you've probably water damaged electrical components or water has gotten in, and that is a no-no

How would you approach the matter at this point in time? I don't know what I was thinking, should've done some research Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
