Adamzs180 will become famous soon enough
sounds stupid but as it's coming through the heaters it's not an external smell is it? maybe you follow another car with a fuel leak and
yours is sucking up the fumes?

Check all engine breather pipes and maybe manifold joints, sometimes fumes can enter the cockpit from a poor joint.
