Diesel smell

My bus, just purchased, does not have that diesel stink and I would like to know why. Is it due to the ULSD gas or an additive?

Mine basically does not either ... even when in the back by the exhaust (outside). Nt what I had grown up smelling and disliking.

So, it must be the ULSD fuel. Unless you are adding an additive?

alot of the 2000 and newer models have an exhaust scrubber on them.
i am renting a brand new mini ex that is a tier 4 diesel motor with the scrubber built into the system from the factory for use inside of a building or enclosed space.
maybe something to that effect depending on the age of what you have
