Terrible Smell from after turning on Heat, smells like Kerosene!

This just started recently, if i turn on tha heat after driving then shutting off the car then turning on the car. I get a terrible smell. Like Kerosene or sulfer. Almost sufffocating. Then it goes away.

The same happens to my car, I was told, and also came to the conclusion that "Bad Gas" can cause that smell. Like if there is impurities in the gas. Try going to a different gas station, because when i switched from a small gas station to another Big name one, that smell went away.
