Faulty Catalytic Converter
In simple words, a catalytic converter is responsible for reducing the toxic gases in the exhaust system into less toxic gases, by a process known as a redox reaction. In case you feel that your car’s fuel economy is not living up to its standards, it’s a sign of a faulty catalytic converter.
To fix this exhaust stability device or the catalytic converter:
-
Buy a cleaner that is specially manufactured for this part.
-
Or, it is time to break the ice and get a replacement.
Loose Fuel Cover
Sometimes, people forget to ensure that the cap guarding their fuel gauge is properly closed or not. If you smell any diesel-like scent then you must know that your fuel’s guardian is not safe.
Fixing this minor problem is more like eating peanuts. Take care of the following to avoid this issue:
-
Next time you stop for gas(or diesel) refill, just take a moment to ensure that your fuel cap is sealed properly.

If you hear any hissing sounds and you feel an easily removable cap, then just replace it with a new fuel cap.
