The real reason is Clarkson and Hamster both have a TDV8 FFRR so they were speaking from the owners perspective. Clarkson did a write up in the Sunday Times which conviced me in part to buy one early in 2009.

Angel,

The only time I have witnessed a diesel car stinking of diesel was when my dad's FFRR TD6 had a fuel line split and it wreaked of raw diesel fuel everywhere it went.

Once it was fixed it was fine.

However, if a car gets diesel spilt IN it somehow ( i.e. someone steps in spilt diesel in a fuel station and then transfers that to the carpets) it will stink for AGES.

That's pretty easy to do as there always seems to spilt diesel at the pumps Discovery 4 HSE
