Over fueling was created by S1DOW

Has anyone come across a problem with over fueling and melting the inside of the catalytic converter? My Jimny has burnt through 2 cats in 6 months now and I've been told it could be down to an over fueling problem!
Can anyone help me?

What's the condition of your spark plugs (color and general aspect) ?

have a word with your local mot testing station, put it on the emission machine to see what your co/hc/lambda readings are, try before and after youve fitted a new catalytic converter
