is there anything to make the exhaust smell better?
since i have no ac, i get a whiff of my exhaust if the wind blows the right way when i am stopped at a light.
i tried the biodiesel route but that stuff smells worse. like burning leaves. i normally put a couple of ounces of 2 stroke oil at every fill up. maybe that is the cause of the stink. maybe i am just getting older and becoming more sensitive to the smell. there was a time when i was younger and i actually enjoyed taking a whiff or two.

For some, AXE; for you, given your statement above, Old Spice.

Taking a Whiff made me think of these guys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWxgfTMLtc0 A couple OZ in a whole tank? That won`t do anything to the smell. I usually use 1oz per gallon and don`t notice any weird smell. Hey, it`s a Diesel. HMMM.....maybe some pepper Mint Oil? . . .

More...
You may have something wrong with your engine... I drive a 617 powered 380SL and literally the only time I can smell the sweet aroma of diesel is backing up the driveway with the top down...and not always even then. Kind of wish it were a bit more odorous.

You could have a leak in the exhaust system.
I once tried 2 quarts of used motor oil in my Volvo diesel and the exhaust stank for over 1 year afterwards. Perhaps some previous owner dumped something in the tank that should not have been their as I did.

190DT doesn't have a cat or trap oxidizer.
There's a problem with your motor. I can tell by your fuel economy. My 190DT gets around 35 avg, 41 on a level highway. I used to have a problem like this before I rebuilt the head. A couple of bad valve seats and two sunk lifters seems to have been the source. But there are a lot of potential causes.
