Hi Robert,

I noticed a smell of gas coming from my 2018 Nissan Rogue Sportâ€™s exhaust the other day. I've heard that this could be down to worn out spark plugs: am I correct in thinking this is the case?

Thanks,
Geoff

Hi, Geoff!

There are a few reasons a smell of gas could come from your 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport's exhaust, but it's definitely possible worn out spark plugs are the cause.

When plugs foul or wear out they produce a colder spark: the result isÂ incomplete combustion.

Since not all of the fuel is burnt in the combustion chamber, the excess raw gasoline escapes out of the exhaust. So, this could be whatâ€™s happening in your vehicle.

If this is the issue with your Rogue Sport, its fuel economy will be suffering and you should replace the spark plugs at your earliest convenience.

I canâ€™t say that this is the problem with your car without inspecting it; so Iâ€™d advise you to call into our Service Department and let one of the Technicians have a look.

Thanks for your question, Geoff! Contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington if you need anything else.
