This was my dad's car. Its an 07 GT with a magna charger and an intercooler (brand unknown). Smells like race fuel under the hood and in the HVAC. When I picked it up, he had completely clossed all of the HVAC vents inside the car. I am thinking that the injector seals might be leaking, but I'm not sure. Thanks for any help with this.

That's a good place to start. I was chasing a fuel leak under the hood, tried sniffing around for it for a while but kept getting noseblind after a few seconds (and probably killed some braincells in the process)

I ended up picking up one of these which helped narrow it down (turned out to be I didn't tighten down the spark plugs enough and the compression was getting around one of the plugs.
