    That goes on for awhile....the fumes....then when I press on the gas pedal it goes away, when I stop at a red light it comes again....and it does that from time to time.... is that normal?

    Do I need to be in the truck to do a regen safely? My employer is telling me to set it and walk away...

    You don’t have to be in there. If you’re smelling fumes and you got tall stacks you might have an exhaust leak. If you got a weed burner yeah some of the fumes are going to get inside eventually. Personally should be illegal to have weed burners IMO.
