Fuel Smell by Marpol(mod): 8:35am On Apr 20, 2017
Was in a public transport recently and the driver bought fuel from Mobil and the smell of the petrol was like rotten eggs. It was very bad. Last night I bought fuel too for my gen and it was smelling like rotten eggs.

I hope this is not bad for cars?

Have saboteurs started adding ammonia to petrol?

Probably hydrogen sulphide gas (H2S) has mixed with the petrol reason for the rotten egg smell. Probably the H2S gas in the mixture is too much
