Look for a fuel leak around the injectors and fuel rail.

It smells only when the heater is on , no smell under the hood while running.

You sure it's not coolant that you're smelling?

Press some paper towels into the carpet under the heater and see if they come up stained with coolant. That's a sure sign of a heater core leak.
