When I am driving I often get a smell of petrol fumes, inside the car
Chances are the smell is coming from a fuel leak around the engine.
The air vents pull air in from the engine compartment, especially when the car is moving.

Take a look around engine with flashlight and follow fuel lines from throttle body, as far as you can until they go under the car out of sight. A fuel leak is not something to fool a round with if your not experienced in repairs. Your safety & others is at risk, have it checked out a.s.a.p.

is the car on recirculate or fresh air? air from your aircon comes through the bottom of your front windscreen, make sure its clear and free of leaves or anything that can cause blockage to stop it from become damp inside the aircon ducts. if it is definately petrol fumes you may have an exhaust leaking from your engine bay, releasing the fumes into your cabin, that is the most common reason for petrol fumes in your aircon.

Try having the area that the hose was disconnected from steamed cleaned, or go to a car wash wash and spray the area. It might help, that is if you already haven't done so.

If it is a gas leak and not an exhaust leak, let it sit in park and look under the car for the leak (above and on the floor). At times it is the lines of the sending unit found above the gas tank. Do not drive it! The leak can catch on fire ( the leak can spread over hot parts of the car while driving). If you find the leak, have it towed to your mechanic for repair.
