Hi, I drive an old Ford Transit Van 1999 diesel engine and recently it developed smelling strongly a bad smell like burning sulphur or burning electric cable especially when i am cruising on the highway. The smell is even more if i try to open the window and it seem like it fills the back of the cabin more that the from seat. I have tried change my battery to a new one , my front and back crawl seals but the smell has not left. What could be the problem? Thank

Did you recently change brands of fuel?  Buy from a different store? 

Look for holes in your exhaust system.

 

There's a big difference between burning sulpher (smells like rotten eggs) and and electric insulation (smells like ... um ... insulation).  Determine which one it is!   Get a small piece of wire if you can, and melt it with a lighter.  That will let you experience insulation.
