It sounds like fuel from your fuel lines is leaking onto your climate control componets. Check your lines...

alright here is what you do. first you co to walmart purchase 1 of each air freshiner. go home. hang about 20 from the rear view, 10 by the back seat, and put the rest on your vents. it will smell like your in a rainforest.

i really dont know what you should do but good luck. if you do my idea post some pics.

and if it doesnt go away after the leak is fixed, then this will solve the problem of any residual smell.
http://www.namotorsports.net its called the odor bomb. works great. believe its under the detailing section.

used it in a buddy's accord, and it removed everything. no smell whatsoever. and it was a smoking vehicle prior to.
