A Cat does chemical reaktions, HC is the most smelling part I know sofar and a Cat should split that.
I was told that the standard smell on exhaust gas will be significant reduced , as the cat is on working temperatur.
Unburned gasoline will not be effected.

What you need is a fuel fragrance. Click here: https://www.powerpluslubricants.com/...ragrances.html One of my favorites is the bubble gum flavor.

Once again, are you smelling a lean or too rich gas smell, or raw gasoline in itself?

Do your eyes water when the car is at idle?

I ask the questions I do to narrow down exactly what you are smelling, this way we can then assist you in resolving the issue.

I think you may have answered your own question Austria Cobra!

As long as you have made these determinations, I would throw caution to the wind and just go for it — if I were you. Based on your knowledge, if you put two or more of those on each bank and then use the proper fuel fragrances, that Patrick has already pointed you at, you should be good to go!

Personally, I think the "Reefer Madness" would be an excellent choice, with potential fringe benefits.

Uhhh, I don't know about that. You get pulled over in a Cobra for mild misbehavior and your car is reeking of weed I think you're probably in for an all-around bad day.
