        Maybe call the place you got it from and tell them what the issue is. Worth a shot. JMO

          Had that issue last year, but ours smelled like garbage. Switched to buying a drum and it went away.

              its not an ethanol blend is it.
              I have been told that E-85/e-98 stinks very bad.

              my buddy is getting ready to run e-85 in a pure stock . Willy's carbs said it stinks.
              I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

                  how do you smell it while racing? sounds like you might need to seal up your (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)pit, the only times ive had fumes where when my deck was smashed to center of the car.

                      I'd just put some scented upper cylinder lube in your fuel and not worry about it if its running right and there are no other issues other than the stink.

                        did you re-paint the headers?

                          Still don't see how you can breath in racing exhaust while racing....... Ive got a helmet air system and never smell race exh while racing or under caution.


                          I would fix the holes its going thru.

                              I don't know what it is about E85 but I dread lining up next to the throttle jockey running E85 in the staging lanes. Smells like rotting dead fish covered in burnt popcorn after a my dog took a dump on after getting into the left over Taco Bell.
