mitiempo will become famous soon enough
I would check the fuel lines, filter connections, tank connections, etc. The only links to the air should be exhaust and fuel tank vent, the rest is a closed system. A diesel should not smell in my opinion and I can put my nose on my Yanmar without a whiff of diesel. Now if you spill diesel and it's absorbed by the woodwork there will be a smell until it's cleaned.
