If it smells like diesel fuel, it means it isn't being burned as normal.
It can mean the engine temperature is low, or the spray pattern from the injectors is not fine enough. Also if the compression is down.
There are several things that can cause a diesel to not burn the fuel properly.
Diesel engines used to put out a lot of smoke that smelled like unburned fuel when they first started. They did that until the engine temp came up.
