Rotten egg smell
Discussion
Hi all,
I have a standard 4.0 Chim 1993, it runs fine , problem is when it's been in the garage for a day or two there is a really strong egg smell, it does not smell when running so does that rule out the cats?
Going to check the battery as I have been told this can also cause this.
Any ideas or has any one had a similar problem.
Thanks.

The battery contains sulphuric acid, so is a potential source of sulphurous gases. Maybe it could be giving off hydrogen sulphide, which is the classic "bad eggs" gas. I've never heard of a battery doing that, but...
First thing I'd check is whether the battery is warm. If so, disconnect it and if possible remove from the car because it could be a fire hazard.
How old is your battery? They only really last 6 to 8 years, so it could be time to replace it anyway.
