The smell of vapors from the crankcase smell very much like gasoline when coming through to the interior of the car. When my wife reported a strong gasoline smell coming into her '00 9-3 with the AC on, I investigated and found that the hose connection to the PVC system (passenger side on the back of the valve cover) was broken and the PVC hose was also deteriorated and broken. Vapors were being drawn from this location to the air intake at the top of the firewall. Found out later this is quite common. And it did smell very much like gasoline. Check all the PVC hoses.
